Is Apache 2.x Ready for General Use?

Posted by Cliff on Friday April 25, 2003 @12:37PM from the peeking-into-the-oven dept.

Above asks: "In this article we see apache 2.0.45 has been released. Well, I plan on rebuilding my webserver soon, which means installing the "latest" version. However, I'm still on the 1.x train, which is still going strong. As someone who hasn't used 2.x, and hasn't followed the development is it ready for the masses or should I stick with 1.x and be happy? Are mod_perl and ssl (my two requirements) stable? What about all the other things (php et all)? I don't do anything fancy with my web sites, but having them "just work" and not having to upgrade every other day are both strong concerns. What are your experiences?"

Open Source Testing? by RealityMogul · 2003-04-25 15:30 · Score: 0, Redundant

As soon as I saw the headline here I immediately thought about who does the testing for open source software. When is it decided that a "gold" version has been reached?

Does oss generally go through a formal testing process, or do a majority of large projects just rely on enough people downloading the beta to find all the bugs?
