question about front page server extensions on freebsd

[Adam Jacob Muller]

Also realize, those frontpage extensions are ridiculously unstable,  
to the point that they are unusable in my experience, they have been  
phased out by MS, and are no longer being maintained or developed  
(not even for security purposes). the link here shows that this  
version was published in 2002, i think that that was actually the  
most recent version.... the Unix (any unix-ish OS) FP extensions are  
not something that you should be using if you care about security or  
stability in the least bit.
