Re: [WHS] Microsoft Draws the Windows Home Server Era to a Closesaid by darcilicious:said by howardfine:There's a reason why Apache and nginx are the world's most used server software.
Yeah, lets talk apples and oranges, shall we? (Linux server just isn't a viable option in an MS home environment when compared to the functionality and ease of use to WHS). Apache is not a Linux server. Apache is Apache and it runs on *nix. But it exists and always will. (And yes I knew what it was.) |

Dude, your comment is so out of place, it's not even funny (and sorry, I misread nginx as linux, in my pre-caffeinated state  ) |

And has little relevance when discussing the cancellation of a software product that has never claimed to be a web server and which people wanting a web server would not be buying. |

Re: [WHS] Microsoft Draws the Windows Home Server Era to a Closesaid by howardfine:but, yes, a home Windows user is not technically knowledgeable enough to just plug Apache in and go
Which was my point when I said, "isn't a viable option in an MS home environment when compared to the functionality and ease of use to WHS". Feature set: not there. Ease of use: not there. Let it go already. The market the WHS was aimed at isn't the market that would use Apache. |

And there are those who are technically knowledgeable enough but don't want the hassle at home. I work with computers all day. At home, I want something that just works without spending a lot of time configuring it. WHS did that for me. |

Agreed 100%. Same goes for all my other gadgets at home, for that matter |

Hm. On FreeBSD, 'pkg_add -r apache22'. Edit three or four lines in the config file and you're done. Linux is just as easy. But I do understand your points. MY point was that Microsoft abandoned its users. |

How does that get me: drive pooling? folder duplication across multiple drives (for easy drive replacement)? backups of each client pc? Where's the feature set of WHS with Apache? |

You were talking about installation and configuration, not features. All those things are easily done on *nix and not needed in Apache. |

Dude, this thread is on WHS. We're all talking about the features and ease of use of WHS. Except for you, apparently. |

No. This thread is about Microsoft dumping WHS. |

Yes, that would be the Title of the thread. However, the actual discussion has been about the features and ease of use of WHS, e.g. mourning the loss of said product. |

"easiliy done" is relative. It's all just "in there" on WHS without much to configure and for what does need to be configured, there is an easy-to-use GUI. |
