The categories I selected for the bar are based on the most frequently hit areas of the web site according to the server stats. The incongruity could be problematic but I'm not quite sure how best to get them in sync. (Then again, I have not given it a lot of thought either.) Another thing I've been batting around is using the little daemon (currently standing by the "site index" on the home page) in the header graphic, and ditching the bigger daemon. -john From owner-freebsd-www Sun Feb 23 18:03:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA17704 for www-outgoing; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 18:03:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from DNS.Lamb.net (root@DNS.Lamb.net [207.90.181.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA17698 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 18:03:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from Bitch2.Melmac.org (Bitch2.Melmac.org [207.90.181.43]) by DNS.Lamb.net (8.8.5/20.74.3.14) with ESMTP id SAA15367; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 18:03:22 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ulf@localhost) by Bitch2.Melmac.org (8.8.3/8.7.6) id SAA00251; Sun, 23 Feb 1997 18:03:28 -0800 (PST) From: Ulf Zimmermann Message-Id: <199702240203.SAA00251@Bitch2.Melmac.org> Subject: Re: http://www.vix.com/spam/ To: jfieber@indiana.edu (John Fieber) Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 18:03:27 -0800 (PST) Cc: jkh@time.cdrom.com, mbarkah@hemi.com, www@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: from John Fieber at "Feb 23, 97 08:50:21 pm" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-www@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > On Sun, 23 Feb 1997, Jordan K.

Anyone who wants to renovate the stats reporting is more than welcome to do so! It would be extra nifty to somehow coordinate stats reporting among mirrors so we just a realistic view.

I'm hoping you can answer a couple of questions for a neophyte. I am going to school at De Vry in the CIS program and will be taking a C/UNIX course next trimester. My question is: Is FreeBSD better than LINUX? If so, in what ways? The way I want to use a UNIX type O/S is at work. We are using WIN95 right now for our Network and it's VERY slow. If I understand correctly, UNIX provides a much faster network environment. Is this true? We don't have a large network: A server/workstation and two more single workstations. Will most software made for UNIX work on both FreeBSD and LINUX? Is there more software available for FreeBSD than LINUX? I have a copy of LINUX right now and it seems rather difficult to work with. (Of course, some of it could be because I know virtually nothing about UNIX!) If these are dumb questions, please feel free to tell me so. If not, I would appreciate any information you could provide.

Most Linux software can be ported to FreeBSD, and if you can't do that, it has a Linux emulator that can many Linux apps, depending on how intrusive the program is. > I have a copy of LINUX right now and it seems rather difficult to work > with.

Just a suggestion, and great job with everything else. You may be interested in the 'cvs-ports' mailing list, which lists changes to the ports area of the source tree. It tends to have bugfixes & upgrades in there too, but you'll see when new stuff goes in as well. The ports tree changes too fast on a daily basis to flag the changes in the www heirarchy (although our esteemed webmasters may have a different opinion).

I think a "what's new" page is definitely a reasonable thing, though making it for the ports collection alone might be less powerful than simply building an idea of "newness" into the web page build process itself. At the very end of the build, those files which were newer than the others would be assumed to be changed somehow and an special "what's new" index built as the very last thing done. Perhaps you could search for
