Apache Server Nears 2.0

An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Apache httpd project has released a new beta of their apache 2.0 server (v32)". For those who have not been following the 2.0 development, this is the third beta that has been produced. The new version of Apache sports the new APR API and a new method for filtered I/O, and has been rewritten to make use of a hybrid thread/process model. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of 2.0, hopefully we will see a full release of the open source version in the near future.

Re:And...?

Apache is doing a thing or two besides just calling "Passenger index.html, please contact gate 80". There are other, faster httpds around that focus on this simple task, for example Boa. (the joke works much better in Finnish)

IIS is still the way to go

[Anonymous Coward]

Sorry, But I will be sticking with IIS for serving web pages. I mean if not for recovering from crashes and constantly applying patches what work would I have. People might think my job is redundant. ;-)

MySQL? PostgreSQL is better!

-flame- -flame- -flame- OK, I was just kidding. I love PostgreSQL, but even I realize that when you don't need stability, speed, good SQL compliance or ... what was I saying again? -flame- -flame- -flame- Alright, back on topic, I'm pretty sure that you've been able to compile PHP4 for Apache 2.0 for quite a while now (at least the option has been there - maybe it's been broken?).

Re:Much like Linux 1.0

Why are you waiting for their OK? If this was MS it would be at version 3 already. The beta of open source is more reliable than most MS versions. The true final of an MS version is after SP2.
