Hmm.. I never knew that Apache is developed for BSD. I thought it was developed for *nix and Windows... distributed as C source so it could be compiled on your platform as needed. I don't recall ever seeing a specific "BSD version' of Apache, other than the fact that I've compiled the source or installed the port, which essentially just compiles the source as well. What am I missing here? The point I've been trying to make (and not many are getting yet) is the simple fact that if I go to, say, Oracle's website... they're developing in Linux. Specifically RedHat Enterprise. Not BSD of any flavor. Veritas--Netware and Windows (shudder). Legato--Windows and various Linuxes. Who is developing for BSD? Why aren't more doing so? What can we do to get them to? Thanks, Glenn
