An Overview of the Boa Web Server

Posted by Hemos on from the smal-pretty-small dept.

Gentu writes "There is a pretty new and little known, lite web server in town, named Boa. The server can run very fast on older machines, even on embedded devices, but it is only CGI-based. OSNews introduces Boa (running under Linux) and it includes some preliminary benchmarks against Apache and thttpd."

  1. Memory access causes a buzzing sound (OT) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I just noticed that whenever my P4 (2.8 GHz, i845PE, DDR333) allocates, read/writes through and deallocates about a 1 GB of memory during the course of a memory intensive quantum mechanical simulation, a faint buzzing sound can be heard emanating from the motherboard.

    It's not coming from the graphics card nor is it coming from the soundcard (I don't have one; not even an integrated one).

    Any ideas what this could be?

      Try submerging you computer in water. That should reduce noiselevels.

    At this rate of trolling, you're never going to get laid.
