I had the same experience as you did, coming from Rails to Django.
Django supports both mod_python, fcgi, scgi, and ajp1.3. Although you're endorsing apache + mod_python, I have found lighttpd + SCGI (use a threaded python instance) to have the best overal performance in single server deployment. I've benchmarked most apache or lighttpd +django hosting scenarios to come to this conclusion:)
For you lawyer-types:
Does this make it illegal for the Federal government to do this ?
Or does it make it illegal for any government to enforce these requirements?
Basically: Can the state of oregon say that they want to regulate this, or does this ruling make this illegal?
Well, does it matter if they code is being reused? Hey, if they can reuse the same code to add new features every day, I'm happy!
If I wanted to do something like add an additional trip, there was previously no way I could do this besides printing out two maps and piecing them together.
If you are paranoid, go with OpenBSD. Those guys rarely have exploits.
If you're not paranoid, go with FreeBSD, linux, or whatever. Human's coding can result in bugs/exploits. Since Human's code all Operating systems, there are going to be bugs/exploits.
If you are paranoid, but don't want to go out of your way to be it, use FreeBSD or Linux, and remember to recompile your kernel (30 minutes maybe?) whenever there's a bug you're worried about.
Let me just remind you that Fedora's main purpose is to test outnew technology, which will eventually make it's way into RHEL.
If someone who has never used linux before wants to dual-boot XP and a linux, don't look to Fedora; look to something like mandrake.
Those who would like to learn more about the workings of nix, check out OS's like FreeBSD!

Obviously it's good PR. This doesn't have to mean that they did it for the good PR rather than for their customers, as you seem to be suggesting.

Changing routes is great

So... no FreeBSD Support?
