> Am I the only one of few people who needs to run PHP scripts on FreeBSD machine > that were encoded with Zend Guard technology? trying to run linux version of probably not, no idea EXACTLY what zend guard is but i've seen other such standards of encoding==obfuscating PHP sources. I don't provide services like hosting for anyone, while i do support businesses and run their servers, and if anyone offer his/her software in such form i (which happened) i just say NO at least, preferably kicking ass. Don't believe in "i use it because i don't my code i worked hard on it to be copied by others" which actually mean "I am simple thief and i copied almost everything and not even modified it much as i don't understand it at all, so i use encoder/obfuscator to hide it". Allowing any software without proper source and preferably documentation in any business always ends badly. So really - if you provide hosting service just run linux for that case, on VM, and probably charge a bit more for that, or leave such case to competition to handle. in every other case just say no.
