Setting Up A Site Server with Jaguar

Posted by Hemos on from the run-faster-better dept.

The aricle goes along well with Alan Graham article on how to setup your own .Mac type service."

  1. My Time is More Important Than Money by reallocate · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You wouldn't necessarily buy a new Mac to use as server. But since the entire Mac world is being migrated to a platform that installs Apache, etc., someone has decided to write a piece explaining how to take advantage of that fact. What's your problem with that?

    As for price, I would have paid just as much for a PC as I did for this Mac. All the PC would have given me was the need to install Linux and spend hours tweaking the thing so I could stand to look at it. My time is more important to me than the money, so I went the Mac route.

    Why does a "community" that whines so much about "choice" and "freedom" have such a hissy fit every time someone says something positive or useful about a competing platform? Any chance that's because you want to limit choice and freedom to only one kind of software?
