Linux is a version of UNIX that has been developed by programmers around the world
and is made available free of charge for personal and commercial use. It is one
of the most stable and powerful platforms available today and has some of the
best and most commonly used software available for it. Unlike Windows, UNIX based systems are built around and with the TCP/IP protocol that the Internet is based upon and are optimised to provide high performance for TCP/IP based software. ZDT supplies customized Linux servers with some of the most popular Internet server software including Apache, Sendmail, Squid and BIND. Apache is the most common used and powerful web server available today and is extremely customisable with add-on modules such as ASP and PERL. It it also available with an SSLeay module to allow for secure connections over HTTPS. Linux comes as standard with a wide range of programming languages such as PHP, PERL and Expect so CGI development on the server is simple. Sendmail is an extremely powerful (yet sometimes hard to configure) mail server. For companies who have advanced mail requirements such as selective mail rewriting, this is the server of choice. |
