Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Howdy! In the next few weeks I'm going to be setting up a Web server, probably running Apache. I'm not quite sure, however, exactly which of the various UNIXes to run it on: I'm quite familiar with Linux, but I hear that its networking code is inferior to Free386, whose networking code has been around much longer and is much more stable. Would anyone have any information as to whether the pros and cons of running Free386 or Linux (1.3.x) as a Web server -- or where I could get such information? Not trying to start a flame war here, just need some information. :) Thanks! -- www (o o) +---oOO--(_)--OOo---+ +-----------------------+ | / / "For every action, | | Jon Salz \ \ there is an | | jmsalz@bigweb.com / / equal and opposite | | \ \ government program." | +-------------------+ +-----------------------+
