Would people be willing to try apache as our server? It's developed by like minded people to us and Brian Tao and myself play with it a lot. It's also very good and likely to become one of the best. I think we should actively support it by using it on a prominent site such as ours. If you're not familiar with configuring it John I'd be willing to look after the server side of our WWW service. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
