Actually, I've found that for many "web applications", sqlite provides a perfectly adequate "structured queryable storage" system and removes the need for the vagaries of MySQL. At the same time I tend to rip out apache and replace that with nginx & fcgi php (if I have to run php at all of course). No-one really looks at my websites anyway :-) I can support 2 requests an hour easily with that! -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
