| 54 | You are pretty much on your own here. | |

| 56 | When Andy Church originally wrote Services for us, then later GPLed it, he | |
| 57 | specifically didn't support it under Windows, nor would he ever. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | You are better off using a UNIX-type machine for any kind of Internet | |
| 60 | server, be it Linux (under which Services was developed, FreeBSD, | |
| 61 | whatever. All of those are free. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | And as we have seen time and time again, Windows has had more holes than | |
| 64 | than a block of Swiss cheese. Part horrendous coding on Microsoft's part, | |
| 65 | part open-by-default policies. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | Hence the phrase: "Windows: /n/ 1. Easily opened. 2. Easily broken." | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | Services has been, and probably shall always be, a UNIX-only program. | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | Save yourself the effort and headaches and get Linux or FreeBSD. Both are | |
| 72 | good. Both are free. | |
