Hello:
I am a Mac fanatic and for my desktop computing, have not touched anything but Apples since my first Apple IIc in 1984.
But my server-based computing is a different story. Our company has an advanced CGI-intensive application that runs via UNIX-based P3/P4 type machines running FreeBSD with Apache as well as classic UNIX executibles such as Sendmail, Procmail, PERL, gcc, etc.
We now have a client that wants to host our application from one of their Mac OS X webservers. Is this possible? I have heard that FreeBSD is available for Mac OS X. If this is the case, what difficulties can I expect bringing an application that was developed from scratch for a UNIX-based FreeBSD environment onto a Mac OS X server? What type of support is available for this type of endeavour?
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
Ed
