You can, and it's actually called "homebrew," which is one of those
words that always sounds like a neologism (a newly coined word) but in
fact originated in the mid-nineteenth-century, meaning "an alcoholic
beverage made at home." Go beer, then, and what's more, go
who'd-a-thunk-it hacks that let you for-real load Linux and "embrace
your inner penguin" on an unassuming white box half the size of a
toaster.

Wednesday, 27 February 2008 |

If you need to set up a compact, secure, easily configurable Web server in as short a time, then we recommend installing Abyss Web Server. The software is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Depending on your needs, you may choose one of the two available editions. The free personal edition (X1) is a fully usable web server with no limitations. The professional edition (X2) includes an immediate access at no additional cost to new minor and major versions for a small amount of money. The differences between both versions you can find here. Abyss isn't open source software, but it is an interesting product and can provide a full web server with no cost, on older hardware, and with high-performance results. The following workshop describes how to install and configure Abyss Web Server (X1) on Mandriva 2008 server.

Setting up a virtual File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server with a
database back end offers many benefits. By using a database, you can
store a large number of users centrally, so it's easy to manage. It
offers more security than traditional Unix OS authentication methods,
because virtual users can access only the FTP server's resources, not
the OS's. You can use the many Web tools that are available to easily
install, configure, and manage the database back end.
