[ic] newbie! Redhat Interchange vs. PHPshop vs. outOFbox?

[OwwwLS]

Interesting point, thanks Jim.  I read through the archives yesterday and so
looked up commerce.cgi when someone mentioned it.  But I get a site telling
me the domain is for sale and it doesn't look like it's possible to download
commerce.cgi any longer.  That's why I dug deeper and came up with PHPshop.

Fred mentioned the recent security issues with PHP, but I thought there was
a patch for this.  After all, microsoft is coming out with patches a hell of
a lot more than any opensource I know, so I don't think it's possible to
have a "perfect" solution.  Is there?
