    You need to remove Apache from that list. Its IIS that has been playing catchup. Sure they've taken a few benchmarks at times for displaying static pages but that's it. Apache is the standard by which other web servers are judged.

    You are obviously a troll. Apache is not playing "catch-up" to IIS. It is the other way around.

    While for most of the others, I'll agree... Apache is a 'shoddy knock-off'? Whah?

    I'm not about to switch to Linux for my laptop, I'll admit, though I might load it onto my other machine once I've got it fixed, just for fun. I happen to be very enamored of Photoshop. But, at the same time, while I write my school papers in Office XP--I do my pleasure writing in OpenOffice.org because it has features that MS Office doesn't. (Two words: Page styles.) And Apache has served a lot of websites well for a very long time.

    Open Source doesn't automatically make something good--but it doesn't automatically make it bad, either. Maybe you should try actually evaluating these products on their own merits, sometime?

    Apache is a "IIS Killer"

    ...conveniently ignoring that IIS is of course playing catchup with Apache, not the other way round!

    Did they do anything to improve/add replication support?

    They did. More about this here. Why ZDnet is covering this, rather than hawking Microsoft's Sequelserver is a mystery to me as well...

    It's amazing how people claim that Slashdot is a Linux zealot's site, and yet such cheap shots such as the above get modded down as troll, rather than funny. Hey Linuxxites, you can do better than that!

    The problem with Jakarta is, the developers of Jakarta have not taken any concrete action with regard to the fight against terrorism. As a result, almost 200 Australian died when a couple of Jarkata users detonated a carbomb outside a popular nightclub.
    Jakarta is a tool of terror.
