SuSE and frontpage 2002 server extension

[Fredde87]

Thinking about changing my server from windows 2003 server (enterprise) to SuSE, only some issues that bother me..

I have to know before installing it that I can run the same services now and so on... Most of the server applications I am running are supported under linux. I checked to see if there is a frontpage 2002 server extension support under linux, it is only recommended to run under red hat. Question is if someone has installed frontpage 2002 server extension under SuSE? I searched the web trying to find some article about I, I did manage to find some but most of the had extreme diffucultys installing it under SuSE, that involved reprogramming the source but I am no programmer and it is to difficult to fix this on my own...

Another problem is that currently I am running mIRC on my server with a long script. Is there a irc program to linux that supports the same scripting language used in mIRC? I cant be bother spending weeks rescripting it to a linux client... Or is there some sort of converter? Another thing is it possible to make it like a service so it automaticly runs in the background before I have logged in?

Yet another problem, my secondary harddrive is broken, after a couple of days uptime i loses power and is switched of, when running windows it just hangs for 4 min before continuing normaly without the harddrive. Does anyone know what will happen in linux? I would want it to automaticly power up the harddrive for me but if it cant will it crash or continue running like windows? If it crashes then I have a problem when I am away then I'll need to reboot manualy every couple of days which is not good for my website!

This should tell you everything you need to know.

At the moment I don't think there are any IRC clients for Linux that support the mIRC language, however, I think it's on the To Do list for X-Chat.

Thanks, the article was usefull but I need the 2002 version (not 98) and where can I download it?

I'll keep searching for a irc client and I will look into x-chat and se if it will work

The link that i found was listed second on my Google Search. I'm sure further investigation would turn up the correct information.

I can probebly live without frontpage server extension but I must have a linux irc program that supports mirc script files... xchat didn?t support it... a converter that will convert it to another irc scripting language will also work... I am running three mirc bots and I can not rescript them all...

might as well run mirc with wine then.
