Please educate yourself.

Is this

Microsoft does not wan't you to know this, but i revealed their secret

Read all about the scandal here!

For all my mission critical systems I always deploy RedHat Linux, coupled with the excellent EXT2 filesystem and MySQL.

Beat my uptime!

Actually, Santa's workshop (actually located in Korvatunturi, Finland) was linuxized a long time ago.

Don't believe me? See for yourself. "The site www.korvatunturi.fi is running Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) PHP/3.0.12 mod_perl/1.21 on Linux." (no doubt they chose Red Hat...)

And they're actively cheating Microsoft. You know, many kids wish for computers these days - and Santa made the mistake of making an OS deal with MS.

Of course, it's easy for them to put in Linux if the kids want it - if MS asks anything, they ask the parents to tell MS death squads that they bought the computer in parts, put it togheter and installed Linux - and conclude this proof by questioning Santa's very existence.

Beat my uptime!

And you thought it was dying!

Have they lost the plot, or just outsourced to mindless idiots

As long as it is not MS, I will gladly accept either BSD or Linux. =)

Netcraft Survey

Not one for eating his own dogfood I guess.

Check out netcraft( his site )

-- kjh

I've never used it, but I noticed this service today, and Netcraft is a reputable company (unless they're hiding something (-: )

http://www.netcraft.com/security/

S

Wasn't "Open Source" just another name for communism?

The site members.truepath.com is running Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26 PHP/4.0.6 on Linux.

Well at least he's being hosted on a Commie linux server, and not a Satanic and Commie BSD one.

I don't think I have the heart to tell him.

The Crusoe upgrade costs another $500. The OS is extra ($250 for RedHat or Debian)

According to Netcraft 90% of Linux users use Linux because it's free.

At $250 for this copy of of linux I wonder of those 90% will go back to using a real OS like Win2k.

As we all know, Linux makes extensive use of daemons for running background processes, something the True Path "gentleman" was critical of OSX and BSD for. And, these daemons will fork off and reproduce in a rather Darwinesque way.

Shouldn't we let this person know that his Christian site is infested by foul, evolutionary daemons?

It's a standard way of thinking for government agencies. They will never adopt open source...

It all starts at the top. I see it happening.

1. it usually takes a whole support team to install a geeks' workstation

1. Installation and maintenance requires 4-5 times the bandwidth a 'normal' OS would require

1. Linux was deliberately made completely incompatible and inoperatible with turnkey solutions like MS Exchange or MS SQL server. Investments in these products are therefore voided the minute you start rolling out Linux.

1. Applications developed in Perl or C, the languages of the linux community have proven to be slow,
2. unreliable, insecure and headaching complicated. Once developed and debugged, nobody is able to understand the code.

• All the 'geeks' wearing tux t-shirts are actually MIS support guys who are still studying for their MCSE exam.
  
• 'The screaming fast Linux machines at work' are actually refurbished workstations at a separated network segment, not allowed on the production network since every Linux (l)user seems to need nmap [insecure.org] to perform normal work-related computer operations.
  
• All the 'cool' Apache web servers are actually IIS machines with forged host headers. (yes, you can do that in IIS without recompiling anything. Heck, I lived for years without a C compiler and still do. )
  
  
• For the rare instance where a free UNIX is actually used in a production environment, management has smartened up and BSD is usually installed.

Says netcraft

There are running Win 2K.
See Netcraft.

In fact, they switched from Apache to IIS.

proof
look who really needs the clue.

And i'm an anonymous coward!

Kinda weird that this website gave such a stunning review of Apache. Especially given that they switched their webserver from apache to IIS. Hrm.

I would have loved to see what Netcraft would report, unfortunately it can't find the server.

The site tfe.c64.org is running uIP/pre-0.7 (http://dunkels.com/adam/uip/) on unknown.

Compare costs of a standard corporate LAN installation

Compare total number of servers using *nix, average server uptime etc.(get this info from www.netcraft.com)

Compare number of website break-ins (get this info from www.attrition.org)

Good luck!

According to Netcraft, www.fast.org.uk runs Microsoft Windows 2000, which is vulnerable to initial sequence number guessing.

Even if it is dying I couldn't care less, because it is unthreatened in quality; I don't care about hype or coolness, I want high quality products that are fast and DO_NOT_CRASH(TM).

Troll!, that's Google not Googel

I think that this link which says that google runs on Linux is much more informative than any reference to googel.com.

Obviously you're a troll...

Google runs on win2k, so in a way, Microsoft is helping you irregardless.

-Who owns the information?
-Are there any cases where a user must agree to release info?-How do you make money / pay for site+bandwidth? I saw no advertising (this may be the scariest part)
-"The site www.onumber.net is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000." (uptime.Netcraft.com). ooooh. baaad. Sorry... Must... resist... hating... Microsoft...
-but seriously, how protected are you? What firewalls/encryption do you use?
-I didn't go to the main account thing, but do you use SSL?

As a former EnterTheGame user, I have to say: hanging out there is bad for your mental health.

The network is run by some hopelessly incompetent people; they run several ircds on the same machine because they either want to look larger than they are, or have no idea how to support larger client loads with a single ircd. Rumor has it their services are written in Visual Basic - this seems quite plausible, since the machine they run on appears to be an NT4 box, as does linux.enterthegame.com. Ironic.

Recently, www.enterthegame.com was pointed at 127.0.0.1 for little more than a week. Their server list is hopelessly out of date, and uses some rather creative geography - according to EnterTheGame, Singapore is actually Sweden. There are server aliases that supposedly connect users to European, Asian, and African servers - these actually appear to point to servers in America and New Zealand.

Their service is awful; users are sometimes forced to wait for hours for someone to register channels. EnterTheGame's largest channels happen to be dedicated to anime fansubbing - hardly on-topic for what is supposedly a gaming network. For a network that seems to enjoy claiming title to the best gaming chat network in North America, they certainly don't show the technical proficiency or common sense you would think they'd need.

I recommend GamesNET. Their staff are far more competent at running an IRC network, and have even developed some very nice IRC services, called srvx.

In short, EnterTheGame sucks.

X box is dying

Today yet another crippiling bombshell hit the biwildered x box community. A recent servey on Netcraft showed that xbox accounted for less than 1% of all gamers! X BOX IS DYING

You do not need to be a linux guru to see that x box is dying losing market share every day!

How many Xboxes are there?
A recent survey found 50 x box users. Half that many are xbox 95 users so that means theres 25 xbox users. 5 timess of less of them uses xbbox 3.1 while Xbox XP has 5000 users. This is consisten6t with the number of Xbox geeks!

Bill gates says this is the biggest load of SHIT i made since DOS and its one of the few places that i don't have a monopoly in.

If X box were to survice it would be with illegal roms and emulators, for practical purposes X box is dead.

FACT : X BOX is dead

"people publicly lament that Microsoft has virtually taken the Internet over"

How, may I ask, has MicroSuck taken the Internet over??? Last time I checked:

Apache has 60 some percent of the webserver market. IIS, 35%

BEA/IBM has 90% of the app server market (check out their web page), Microsoft, has close to none.

The language of the internet is Java/XML/HTML. Not this crap called .NET, for which market share is roughly 20% which no java shops want to convert (TheServerSide, Gartner)

One of the futures in web services is SOAP, initiated by MicroSuck by the w3c, my shop uses Apache SOAP/Axis. When the SOAP statistics comes out, I could almost bet the house that the Apache/IBM/etc solutions will dominate over M$.

The Database that backends the database is Oracle. Not SQLServer (Access# ?).

I write this crummy response on Opera version 6.x, not IE 5.x.

So, tell me again, how has Microsoft "taken over the Internet?"

Sorry to be a pain but they're actually running Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 SP3 on Solaris. Uptime looks good.

netcraft says it's solaris 8 and apache.

Of COURSE they're not hosting the machine on a cray. That's complete overkill, even for Cray themselves. The electrical costs alone would be on par with a top-of-the-line hosting package (I imagine).

S

It's now hosted at Unisys.com.

Funny to see they have a couple of Linux machines
with high uptime ;-)

Usually these sudden jumps and drops are due to some big ISP switching, taking a few zillion virtual domains with them. Apparently Apache lost 3% to IIS last month due to one of these.

Anyone know why Apache's lead is narrowing in the server battle? According to this graph, Apache has dipped recently and Microsoft has surged.

a while ago.

Slashdot is running Apache 1.3.20. They will probably run 1.3.24 (currently the latest 1.3.x) before moving to 2.0.

Does anyone know when a new mod_perl will be available? The current mod_perl (1.26) was released in July 2001.

I got curious and decided to look on Netcraft. It looks like they were running on NT4/IIS4 until today, and then suddenly switched to Win2K/IIS5. Perhaps they decided to throw some new hardware at the problem?

aww shucks..

First...there's a grand total of 1 link to this site on the entire web...that in itself is actually a rarity...

And it's from a site owned by the same company for Digital's Tru64 UNIX...

And M$ has put themselves into this positon. They are the ones slamming the UNIX community...I see nothing on this site that says "M$ Sux".

The fact that a M$ ran site has BSD/Linux on it is not news. The fact that the site is aimed at destroying the very platform that they are using is the issue.

That having been said, it looks the main page hasn't been updated since February 05, 1999!!! I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say someone's probably domain squatting...
