re: XP Home and Personal Web Server Thursday, May 29, 2003 at 2:38 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Werner (1 messages posted) Why in the world would you want to do web-development on a Windows OS? Rather partition your laptop's HD and load a Linux distribution (minimally configured, to basically give you web development features). Also, migrate to PHP, since plain ol' ASP's days are counted. I recommend Linux, because it's FREE. Unix is just as good, but if you can get your hands on Unix, you should go for the latter. Trust me, I work for a Web-Development company, and we make millions of dollars each month, from developing stuff in a FREE and STABLE environment. You can easily configure your laptop to be dual-bootable, so that you still have Windows XP on it as well (but heaven only knows what you want to use Windows for, I just suppose you have a good reason, like being able to test your stuff in Internet Explorer?). Either way, that's totally the best advise available. Good Luck!
