ROFLMAO - Dude stop with the Holy OS Wars already. It's not becoming of a professional.

*Edited by Gizmo:*
I split this from "Attachment not found" as it got grossly offtopic.

Umm it wasn't an OS war thign here, it's dead hard fact; In Linux using Apache I've never heard of an issue like this, and yeh I should have made it an Apache vs IIS statement vs a Linux vs IIS statement

Just a theme you bring up often is all

Just because I feel that Linux trumps Windows doesn't mean that I don't respect others for believing otherwise; here I was simply pointing out that I've never seen such an issue on an Apache Webserver and that it was likely an issue with IIS/Windows protecting filetypes from being downloaded...

Oh I agree I think it is IIS fault as well, good or bad. Just have to track down why.

Lol here I thought we where tlaking about the same darned thing the entire time, till i get yelled at :queue fake cry:

let's face it - what OS did M$ use to host their websites for a few years?

BTW - I have servers both in Linux and Windows - so do not mind either

You know Ian, sometimes you say things that just make me.... absolutely adore you lol...

I have two home dev machines; one Windows and one Linux

You mean isn't it awesome how one company with so many less years on the market can overtake another with so many more years on the market to become the new leader ?

Amazing how many of the large expensive applications have moved to the other side as well. Used to be they could/would only be run on VAX or Unix now they run on Windows. Just wish I'd have properly invested my money years ago then I wouldn't be here typing up another post.

The Apache Web hosts dominate not due to technology but due to FREE OS and then CHARGE to use it.

[end os war] .... see what you made me go and do - yuck


If you love Linux great, If you love Windows great, If you love Macintosh great - just don't try to always be a convert-aholic evangilist, you don't make any money or points for it.

I like and use all of them. One just happens to pay my paycheck so I know more about it then the others. If one of the others was paying my pay check I'd know more about it.

I like to play new 3D games at times and the others don't play them so I play them on Windows, doesn't mean the others don't have cool great features either. That's why I have VMware to run the others.


.

"less years"? Unix has been around since the 60's; granted the Linux Kernel hasn't been around nearly as long, unix was still with us before M$ was a twinkle in bill gates' eye...

BTW, why do we keep argueing about this? We keep saying we're going to stop yet somehow we get back on the same track...

And actually, IMO, of using both IIS and Apache, Apache is a far superior and more customizable webserver, but that's my opinion, should you choose to have another opinion, that is your right ;).

You know, I don't like macs anymore... First they're their own OS, then they're built on BSD; so they're no more than an XWindows on prepriatary hardware... Then they decide to go the route of running on standard pc's using intel processors, so now they're officially no more than an xwindows on a *nix host... craziness... I'd still probably buy a mac though if i had the cash to blow on a random new toy hehe...
