Let's hope they aren't too few. :) The first answer is that there are a *lot* more linux sites than freebsd ones. linux is a bit less standardized, though... As to web servers, I run 2 at 2 ISPs for a total of 6 or 7 domains now (using the apache virtual-host trick with ifconfig alias). One of them is signing up folks weekly so I wonder how many aliases ifconfig is good for? They are both 32mb P5's that also run INN. So far they aren't overloaded and I suspect that I can't overload them even with both the web and INN on a single T1 feed (though one is getting another T1 pretty quick). (These sites aren't yet very popular but...) I don't know how many more web sites are freebsd-powered. I need to get the 'powered by freebsd' logo to tack on to some of these pages if it's allowed :-) -- Pete
