that's what the load balancer bit refered to...  my point was there are
lots of technologies out there that can make a given URI look highly
available without having anything much at all to do with the underlying
operating system of the hosts themselves.

i'm a BSD fan, and we do quite well in the stats...  that's good, and i'm
glad to see it.  i'm just pointing out that "uptime" alone can give
results that don't really say much about the site's OS of choice.  big
sites like Dell and M$ run mostly IIS installs these days...  they don't
achieve uptime (from a user's or netcraft's perspective) due to the merits
of their OS/product.
