Compiling isnt that hard. When there is a will, there is a way.

Scourceforge it

Honostly, I think that it dosen't really matter. How many times are you going to install this infront of other people?

Well, the articles from microsoft mostly underline the the pro/cons of servers.

Granted, linux for the desktop is a long way from being fisherpriced as microsoft windows has. But with advancement in KDE, and Gnome, I think the GUi is becoming better then that of Windows. There are package issues, simmilar to old DLL hell on windows.

Hate to double post, but...

The reason that microsoft made a page about its "supiriority" over linux is to avoid this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4276287.stm , from happening.

Gonna take a stab in the dark, but unless disabled, mozilla will not connect to international domains, such as .de and such. Except, I think they are going to have to allow some, like .uk and .de. Probably the lesser known domain names.

Wasn't something like this occuring about 6 months ago with MD5?

As to having a lot of people looking at the code to find flaws, I totally agree, the questions is; how many people are working fulltime on Linux? As part of the Trustworthy Computing initiative, Microsoft spent more than $200 million training more than 13,000 Windows Division employees on security-focused development techniques and new engineering process, resulting in a line-by-line security review of Windows Server 2003.

That is regardless. Even with so many "Trained" personal reading through the codes, flaws exist. The cost it takes for Microsoft to do this is transfered to the user, who buys the product, and often times is frustrated by the cost to complexity ratio.

For Microsoft to openly critizse the opensource community is not only foolish, but uncalled for. If Microsoft has confidence behind their product, they do not need to create such a site. The fact that they have shows that a. they have begun loosing their ground, or b. they have lost contracts due to opensource.

I never said that Linux was 100% better then windows, how else could I play my games? From a server administrators perspective, the posibilities offered from Linux are infinite compared to other server OS, IMHO.

Another thing that seperates Linux from Microsoft is the fact that the basis behind Microsoft, as anyother business is commerical/corporate. Because no one owns Linux, the use of it only benifits the community.

Lets also face another fact, most companies who use, run, and stand behind linux are those who have contracts with the distubuters. Red Hat, SuSe, and so on.

Its also important to follow the trend setters, as IBM. They have been pushing foward with the battle cry of linux. If linux us truly a "waste of time", why is the most recognized tech company in the world supporting it?

No doubt that in some cases, Microsoft is better, but to say that Microsoft is always better, and Linux is just a time consuming, worthless pos is just plain stupid.

Dude, that quote kicks, yet so true.

Its a load of bs if you ask me. If you know what you as an adminstrator are doing, the overal cost of linux and opensource programs is a lot cheaper.

Lets not forget that opensource requires companies to reveal everything in their code, so there is no question of stolen code, it can all be seen. On the same note, because the code is so visible, and that everyone has access to it, the likely hood of a windows style, nazi pathing era will not occure. Why? Because you have so many people looking at the code, that if something is wrong, the community will be identified imediatly, and a solution will surface.

Your views?

Virtual hosts are usefull when you are running Apache, which I don't think you are.

Must have missed the Windows part. I think my mind filters that out...

I've actually have seen adssence screw up pages before. If you screw around with the code too much, then they wont accept it.

My friend had it on his site, and the way he had coded it, whenever someone posted something, adsence would post a blank copy.

Moral of this post: be careful.

No. If you look in the administrator rights in your instilation of Punbb, you can set that guests cannot see the forum, they can only login or register.

My own website. If I get tired looking at it, maybe its time for a change.

Wait, dosen't the user managment settings in 1.2 solve this problem? At least with the forums?

I have done something like this before. All I did was a make a main index that went in my root folder, and a .htaccess/.htpasswd protected folder with all the rest of my protected stuff. Sure, multiple logins, but there are ways around it.

no i mean how can anyone find the forum without knowing the URL to it?

I think thats exactly the point. He wants to have a site that is invitation only, including the forums. He dosen't want it open to the world, only to the members he wants. Sort of a members only.

If the site is invitation only, why not have a front page that requires a log in? Then have punbb and your other site's login elements cookie based, and when a specific user logs in, it automatically sends the proper cookies.

Isn't it eaiser just to have .htaccess/.htpasswd combination?

Wait, I think he uploaded to the root "/" folder. Connorhd ment for you to place in your root folder, something like /users/[yourusername]/.
