RE: Why not Apache-SSL? (was Re: RH 6.0 E-Commerce Edition?)
I called RSA once to ask about getting a license so I could use apache w/ SSL. The sales person wanted to sell me their SSL/C product and started talking about royalties, etc. They did not seem to understand that I just wanted a license so I could use RSA legally on ONE web server. I just said thanks, but no thanks, and bought the Mandrake Linux Secure Server. BTW, I couldn''t get Mandrake secure server to work properly (documentation was horrible). So, I just downloaded Apache-SSL, compiled, installed, configured, no problem. I figure since I bought Mandrake (which came with a license for RSA), I am covered by extension...

Where is the Mandrake Linux httpsd available? I had no idea they offered one.

I believe Macmillan sells it at local stores such as Best Buy around the Baltimore, MD area. I bought their "unofficial" RedHat releases and a "Linux Utilities" package before and I wouldn''t recommend them to anyone. - Mujtaba Ali Vice-President, Zynex Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phone: (410) 744-4939 E-mail: mujtaba@zynex.com Fax: (410) 788-7298 URL: http://www.zynex.com On Wed, 8 Sep 1999, Jared Mahoney wrote:> Where is the Mandrake Linux httpsd available?
