Other people have answered the ColdFusion/Debian part, so I'll put in my two bits on this part. I've done development with CF and I find it somewhat similar to PHP. The quick answer I give to most folks is that PHP is like embedding C or Perl in a web page, where ColdFusion is like embedding COBOL in a web page. There are some things that CF is very good at: I'd like to lift its CFQUERY and CFOUTPUT tags and plop them down in PHP--they make doing a database query and using it to generate an HTML page a piece of cake. It's regular expression support, however, is inferior to PHP's, which has a bunch of functions that essentially implement Perl's regexp engine. I'd say ColdFusion is a bit easier for beginners, since it keeps the HTML tag-based paradigm, but personally I'd choose PHP. -packy -- Packy Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "But then again, you can't be convicted for driving under the influence of a Hershey bar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Very easy learning curve, great application support, and a smooth transition for graphic designers. I would look into an application framework to run on top of PHP, allowing a single developer to build classes that can be easily used by newer programmers. g -- Brought to you by Debian 3.0 Linux took 2.4.16 #1 SMP Sat Jan 5 12:52:24 EST 2002 i686 unknown msg05878/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not 4.5, but I installed Coldfusion 5 without any problems on a bunch of Debian (woody) boxes for some ouf our customers. I guess 4.5 will work just fine too...

Re: cold fusion 4.5 on Debian
we have coldfusion 4.5/5.0 up&running on debian sinces some time now (2 years i think) .no problems except it's expensive..very... Development time of applications is rather short..the language is self can be learned very quickly, with the 5.0 is finally getting mature... we started with cf on solaris at version 3.0 i think...and it sucked back then...lot of server load problems, performance issues etc. Seems to be the past If i recall there was one redhat lib package we had to alien to a deb package and after that it was simply running the install script, no redhat nasty's in there. We never tried the clustercats software coming with the coldfusion server software..but the coldfusion server itself is ok.

cold fusion 4.5 on Debian
Is anyone running Cold Fusion 4.5 on Debian ? People in my organization are looking at Cold Fusion for it's advertised simplicity. I prefer sticking with Debian. Are there any other simple packages that I might recommend as a dummy proof alternative ? -Ted References: Cold-Fusion Server 4.5.1 Installation and configuration on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 http://www.macromedia.com/v1/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=17481&Method=Full -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
