Title: Thoughts... KF Webserver (Free)
Post by: LePaul on August 13, 2002, 10:00:48 AM

My boss sent me a link to this...looks cool, but I'm ever wary of anything "free"

Thoughts?  I wouldnt use it...prefer IIS myself and my ASP applications...but thought I'd post the link and see what others think of it

Edit: I couldnt find the webserver but I assumed it ran on FreeBSD or linux when I went to the "Powered by" graphic.


My opinion is that FreeBSD is one of the most secure of "free" OS's and in most cases more secure than anything M$ (as well as more stable)  but I'm a unix bigot to begin with. If you want ease of use and don't mind the occasional attack M$/IIS is the way to go, but if you want Security & Stability then FreeBSD/Linux would be the correct option if your not afraid to learn something new. It can be a hassle to get everything configured and setup the way you want it, but once your done you won't have to touch it, barring any security updates.
