[UCLA-LUG] Linux vs Windows 2K

[Matt Helsley]

It seems to me that Linux gives one a much greater choice in terms of
WHICH web server a potential user would like to use. About the ONLY two
web servers that I know of which do not run on Linux (AFAIK) are:
WebStar - the old MacOS-based server
Netscape's ole' server- I haven't heard any news about it in a long time

Other than that, there are lots of open source web servers out there,
including Apache (most well-known web server) and AOLServer. How many
other platforms can make such claims? Certainly NOT Win2K.

Also, I'd like to point out that support costs for the upgrade to Win2K
are significant- considering all of the broken software generated by the
latest OS from Redmond, I'm glad I use predominantly Linux software. I'm
sure this point is relevant when it comes to running commercial web
servers under Win2K.
