A few Mac users telling everyone how a rich computing life is possible with their Mac and that Windows adds little.
All the while using Windows forum software running on a Windows server to hash over the whole affair via the I-net
Does the Mac have much of a presence as a webserver? Are any of you boosters actually running a website with one? Is there such a thing, as forum software that will run on a Mac? Does it have capability to display nested threads?
About the only site I've ever seen is the EWG effort run by Kenny King; they use Macs for their mission.
Just curious - as the Windows server solution seems to be the only serious one that has the Internet server built into the OS and not an add on, like is necessary with Linux. Certainly makes it easy for a plain old dirt farmer to get a site up and running by using the GUI built into Windows.
Yes. We ran our isp on all macs, DNS, web, mailservers, forum etc on both System 9 and OS10 (which is built on BSD and linux is what the majority of the web runs on for a reason) For many years the military used macs running System 9 to serve their web sites simply because they were secure.
any advice for mixed households? (pc and mac)
