Well, the binaries I mentioned above, while talking to Olajide are from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/, there are some module binaries there as well. <br /> | Well, the binaries I mentioned above, while talking to Olajide are from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/, there are some module binaries there as well. <br /> | ||
Since Olajide has put you in charged of this, I'm wondering if you have any comments on those binaries. I am also interested to know if you plan to include mod_ssl together with 4.0, or whether you would prefer to distribute that as a separate plugin. | Since Olajide has put you in charged of this, I'm wondering if you have any comments on those binaries.

MrX, stop harassing Ric. Let him do what he has to do.. lol. --[[User:Olajideolaolorun|Olajide]] 08:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
I was just trying to have a meaningful conversation :( | |||

Hi Mr X | |||
I apologise for not getting back. To be honest I am not sure where the mini-server binaries came from, most probably from Hunter that source was my favourite it really is a shame the site has closed. I say not sure because after my disk crash I lost some data. The mini-server info was on a sector or two I could not recover. Always meant to do a full back up but never got around to it. | |||
I really think now you can’t go wrong if you use binaries from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Apace Org. These will work fine on the mini-servers with no change. I am currently looking at a new write-up and now Apache Org is my first port of call. | |||
By the way I certainly respect your technical competence and views, after a clean OS install on my new hard drive I had problems with slimFTPd! I remembered you’re post on the forum, what can I say! Spot on, certainly resolved my problem. | |||
I very rarely can catch you or Olajide in real time on the forum due to the six-hour difference between USA and UK time. | |||
If I remember correctly you are now a Linux person only interested because I have tried several distributions and never been able to get a connection to my wireless router. | |||
All the best | |||

Thank you so much for replying, Ric :) <br /> | |||
Could I know more about the now closed "Hunter" site you were talking about? (A URL would be nice) <br /> | |||
About the time difference, I'm 12 hours ahead of Olajide and 7 hours ahead of you. I'm sure we'll be able to find a suitable time to meet up. | |||
I mentioned the ApacheLounge binaries as on that site, they claim that their binaries are compiled with VC9 and the ones from Apache.org are compiled with VC6. I have no way of testing this without Windows, but I guess that means the binaries are also linked to the latest VC runtime library, which is probably why it has improved performance. Well, I guess that's all I have to say about the binaries. I just wanted to find out what you thought about the improved performance claim, if you don't think that's necessary, I'll respect your decision. | |||
Finally, Linux. Which distributions did you try? Did you install the distributions on your hard disk or did you use a LiveCD/DVD/USB? I don't have any experience with wireless routers, however, as far as I know, when that's not working, [[wikipedia:NdisWrapper|NDISwrapper]], a driver wrapper, is usually mentioned. There is a [http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list/ list of supported cards] on their site. I'm not sure if that's a suitable solution to your problem as I don't know why your network card was not detected by the distributions you tried -- because the proper drivers were not compiled into the kernel and then loaded or because your card is incompatible with Linux (not natively supported). | |||
Another thing, Ric, do you think it'll be better to put your article navigation bar (sorry, I couldn't find a better name for that) in a Template like what Olajide has done for the Development Status, Wiki News, and Did You Know sections in the [[Main Page]]? | |||

Ric, in a few hours it will be a week since my last message. <br /> Please tell me what's the best way to contact you :( | |||

Hi Mr X | |||
Ya the passage of time, it just disappears hence the delay. | |||
Hunter provided compiled binaries before Apache started to meet this requirement and needs of Windows users. As for a link the site has gone however this may be [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200404.mbox/%3C1082830680.22963.70.camel@ptak%3E worth a read ] | |||
ApacheLounge vs Apache.org binaries to be honest I have never compared speed I am slightly biased towards Apache.org only because they have a superb archive of older versions. | |||
As for Linux I just can’t afford the time to do it justice, however I have recently tried Knoppix 5.3.1, which allowed me to connect to my router and Internet. | |||
Template for navigation bar, would be a good idea just that I am so new to this Wiki stuff I have now ideas how to implement it, again lack of time. | |||
“Ric, in a few hours it will be a week since my last message. | |||

Perhaps a PM on the forum, it probably wont guarantee any faster response time however you can be sure I will read it. | |||

Ric, when you've found enough time, maybe you could try [http://wubi.sourceforge.net/ Wubi]. It allows you to dual boot Linux and Windows by installing [http://ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu Linux] (which is probably one of the most new-user-friendly Linux distributions available) as a file on your existing Windows partition :) | |||
So, what time are you usually online and checking the forum or wiki? | |||
Such a long User Talk page? Wow. Am jealous. lol. --[[User:Olajideolaolorun|Olajide]] 04:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

Ric, please take a look at [[Talk:5.3-Nano: Introduction]] for a question about page naming. It might save a lot of work in the long run. I'll also hit the Forum. | |||
BTW, I look forward to helping you out a bit. | |||
