The Apache Newsletter
Kyle Hamilton writes "The first Apache Newsletter was released today. The Newsletter is a result of the outgrowth of the 'Jakarta Newsletter' and the newsletter
can cover all the projects including infrastructure, incubator et cetera."
It seems to be a copy of the changelogs of projects, which is what Slashdot, Freshmeat and README files are for.
A newsletter should have content beyone release notes...

Two points:
1. Diddums
2. You're honestly saying Apache httpd doesn't compete with IIS?? Me thinks you should put that tin-foil cap back on.
I used to read http://www.apacheweek.com/ fairly regularly. Now seems to be not maintained as well.

Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl, SSL...
Up-to-date instructions for building for Windows 2000 and XP, and Linux.
Apache HTTPD (running on Windows) does support .exe files - it can run whatever you want as CGI. Obviously you don't understand WTF you are talking about and are a merely a troll.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Apache fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Apache box (a P4 2.4 w/1024 Megs of RAM, on an Qwest OC3) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one directory on the hard drive to another user. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4/IIS 4 (On a dual T1, no less!), which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Apache box, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, PHP will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even mod_perl is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Apache machines, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Apache box that has run faster than its Windows counterpart, despite the Apache machines faster chip architecture. My 486/66 cable modem router with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 2400 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Apache is a "superior" server.
Apache addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Apache over other faster, cheaper, more stable httpd daemons.
Someone PLEASE mod the parent up as +5 funny. You can't multitask windows on a p200... Now my Linux P200 has no trouble transfering large files from one computer on my internal 100mb network, to another. AND IT STILL WORKS FROM THE OTHER COMPUTERS! I.E. Transfering an ISO Via wget to my burn-box (1ghz WinXP), from my store-box (p200 Lin Apache.), and browsing the store-box contents via Mozilla from the desk-box (800mhz FreeBSD) NOTE: I have shit loads of computer because I like to play with the OS's, I never intended each box for its specified task... It just worked out that way. My BurnBox has a burner and games on it, my store-box sits in a closet and acts as my i.e. gateway, and webserver, and the desk-boxs is a dualhead machine that I use for browsing, developing, and just messing abount (like now).
