Domain Direct: DNS registry with free mail. They give you 1 POP mailbox and 5 forwarding addresses. One nice thing is that they provide catch-alls, i.e., all mail addressed to anything@yourdomain.com can be captured to your POP account. I use this with Fetchmail on my Linux box to create individual accounts for all my family members. One drawback, the POP quota is only 5 MB so I have to poll frequently. Another is that fetchmail with POP can't handle BCCs correctly, so this is not too good for mailing lists.
DirectNIC: Also offers domain registry services as well as email. DNS is cheaper, mailboxes cost a bit more. A friend who doesn't need email uses this and has no complaints.
No-IP : These guys also provide free DNS under the no-ip.com domain (and a few others). They can host your domain and give you a backup MX capability. More expensive than the other two but probably more full-featured if you can host your own SMTP server.

Huh? According to Redhat's site it's $990 for 10 machines for a year! And I suspect you can get even bigger discounts if you're going to register 50 machines.
This is a module available at CPAN that you can use to simulate various kinds of loads. Just load up one or more lists of URLs, tell it how many iterations you want to run, and how many concurrent users you want to test with and collect your figures.
I've used it recently to run a bunch of stress tests against some dual PIII 1GHz boxes w/2GB RAM running RedHat 7.1 & Apache and found they outperformed a fully loaded IBM RS/6000 H50 running Netscape Enterprise at least twice over!
One think you need to watch out for is that if you are using name-based virtual hosting the module has a bug and won't work. You can ask Adi Fairbank, the author, for the bugfix which he hasn't released for some reason.
Take a look at Sun's license for the SDK. It's for development use only, which means you can't use it for production. From the license (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/j2sdk-1_3_1_01.licen se.html):
Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to reproduce internally and use internally the binary form of the Software complete and unmodified for the sole purpose of designing, developing and testing your Java applets and applications intended to run on the Java platform ("Programs").
Anyone know of a JVM that I can use for a production server?

The JRE has the same clause in its license, i.e., it is for development & testing only!
