Re: [cobalt-users] Chilisoft ASP

[Bostjan Simonic <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I basically agree with Will, BUT...

ChiliASP, not only not being open source, not only not being free, but
is being way too expensive to install. Should i need ASP, i'm
better off buying Windows NT/IIS box with ASP included and don't need a
Linux box.

Well at least that's what it appears to be. As long as the ChiliASP won't
make it FREE for Linux. But then again, they just might do that,

Shouldn't they?
