    This is a pretty interesting link. Apache is great and all, but the dark side works with FrontPage.

    if a hosting company is using Win98 as a production hosting server they should be prevented from breeding.

    Do not worry. If using Win98 as a production hosting server, they would be too busy problem solving to have time to breed!

    Hilarious!

    I clicked on the localhost link just for the heck of it, since I had forgotten which project was running on my laptop's Apache server...

    And MozillaFirebird helpfully took me to:

    http://www.localhost.net.au/ ...which is, in fact, a hosting provider!

    Ghosts in the machine, I swear.

    *BSD is dying

    As usual, slashdotters aren't reading the article.

    The article says that BSD-based services are very reliable, and tend to not die. And it is a Netcraft article, so...

    Netcraft confirms: *BSD is not dying.
