You should check out Magic Software Enterprises B2B E-commerce solution
''EMerchant'' for Linux as well as the development tool they
used to create
it.

Hmm. I hate to say this but I have had almost no problems with SSL
based servers in general (RHSS, IIS, Roxen, StrongHold/etc). If you
read and follow the instructions you should be fine. I will admit
that some areas are poorly documented, but in general it works for me
(TM). One problem I have found with Linux vendors in general (SuSE,
Red Hat, Caldera, etc.) is that they are growing so fast and pursuing
so many things that they tend to forget about details. Until they get
the processes and methods in place they won''t be any better then
say... Microsoft for support.
At least with Linux you have a choice of vendors =) (A REAL choice).
As for calling the product an E-commerce solutions, well, it isn''t.
It''s the first (and small) piece of a larger solution.

Tommorow in my column I''ll be going over SSL and I''d suggest
y''all
read it. Might be helpful.

I am also planning an extensive document on E-Commerce on Linux and I
think this is a great example of why it is needed =)
