What doesn't support perl?

Mandrake 8.1 comes with mod_perl pre-installed so I'd go with that, although I didn't enjoy downloading 1.8GB of ISO's Wink

haha, winmodems sound like geoport modems on a mac -- slow / horrible ..!

haha, 9X or 7.x / 8/x sounds familar too ... although 9.x series on the Mac goes with win2000 ... I guess ...

umm .... 10.1 come pre-installed with mod_perl too!

hmmm .... I slapped an ADSL modem from NTT (Japan's Devil of a telephone company which is notorious to say the least) on my system and it ran ...

sounds like most OS's still have a little more growing pains to go through Frown

gee, why am I even posting this ??? Crazy

Oh well, thought I'd let you all know that Macs are nice but got problems too !!

XP and OS X are gonna be fun to watch to see how they'll finally clean out alot of outstanding bugs and problems!

[side note]
there's a funny rumor that Apple is gonna the famous "ginger" Tuesday! hahaha, more likely some kind of product that brings together all their quiet puchases.
[/sidenote]

peace to all and all for useful OS's

Sorry Alex, I couldn't resist...

So I guess I'll just download software with my winmodem?? :-)

Seriously though, I'm having a hard time finding a real modem at computer shops around here. I suppose I could buy one off the internet but I've had bad experiences with that. Seems that it takes 4 hours fly some parts from a warehouse out west somehwere to a wherehouse 45 minutes from my house, and 24 hours to deliver it. what the heck?? Then the guys that delivered didn't even knock on the door, so I didn't releaze they'd come for hours. good thing it didn't rain that day.

There's actually support for software modems at http://www.linmodems.org
Quote:
A Winmodem is a combination of hardware known as chipset (much less than in a true pure hardware modem) and software (written for the infamous Windows operating systems family).

A Linmodem is a Winmodem working under the famous Linux operating system.

Taking a quick look at the web of pages that link out from linmodems.org, I see that a majority of the winmodem/software modem chipsets are supported (Lucent, PCTel, etc). Of course getting a winmodem to work in linux will require some reading (like most things with linux), so RTFM Angelic. But it is possible.

For the lazy, here's a link to a list of supported/unsupported modems (beware: it's one huge table): http://www.idir.net/...mitkc/20010731a.html

XP _IS_ without doubt the best thing M$ has created.

It has so many great features and has not crashed once on me, even when it becomes unstable.

With Win98 if the OS got low on memory it would freeze up but XP keeps going and lets you kill any processes or apps that are slowing you down.

There's also a cool Internet option. My cable modem connection sometimes drops so I just click "Repair Connection" and it fixes whatever went wrong and gets me back online again - (and it isn't the same as Renew in winipcfg)

You can choose the XP desktop theme or classic as well as having fading menu's and tons more.

I love it.

Glad to hear that M$ has FINALLY did something possibly right this time. Too bad almost viruses are for M$ folks. Oh well, I guess that company can't win.

Office XP is already available on ...*cough*, *cough* ......KaZaA.

Of course I didn't download it because that would be illegal but I know it is available.

Not sure what it is like.

I'm not saying there isn't anything wrong with it, either. I'm only asking 'why'? If you have a more stable environemt, that is a MS SQL database at the click of your fingers ??

Why not use programs that were written for a Win32 platform on Win32 platforms and use programs that were written for linux on linux?

From what I've been able to tell, the linux tools ported to Windows are usually more stable on Windows than the tools written for windows specifically. Apache on windows doesn't have all the security holes that IIS has shown, Perl on windows is certainly better than... um... VB.

I do understand your argument though - it makes much more sense to develope for linux on linux. I'll allow you to use windows with cygwin and apache in a squeeze though... Wink

Certainly buying an IIS license is out of the question, so that really leaves you with PWS or Xitami - both of which have their quirks.

Now, enter Apache 2.0 - this is supposed to be rewritten specifically with Windows in mind - unless they've changed their goals, Windows Apache 2.0 will no longer be experimental. Ah... if only it and mod_perl 2 could hurry up... Wink
