[clug-talk] Re: Is Linux a Hobby System? Your thoughts

[Wendell Nichols]

NO.  I write commercial java and .net applications and components etc for a large systems integration company.  I do all my java,  and c++ development on linux where I have J2EE servers from IBM, Weblogic,  Macromedia and others for testing and performance comparisons.  I do my .Net development on a windows system running in a virtual machine under linux. It's a little more work to configure most things but that pays off in that things are a LOT more configurable.  I never follow a problem to a proprietary piece of code and then have to sit on my hands while someone's help desk wastes my time. Clearly I don't think its a hobby system, its just a good system that you can use for a hobby if you like ... cause its free! wcn Jim Clarke wrote: ProFTPD should compile no problem. It's also the one FTP daemon I recommend using if FTP has to be used at all. What would you use as an alternative? I know about SFTP, and, I must admit, this would be my utility of choice, because (to my knowledge) it only requires the SSH daemon. I agree SFTP is the way to go, however for a ftp standard on Mandrake I would recommend wu-ftpd. It is well documented and one can "tweak" it quite nicely. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
