Thank you, Marc. All right, I still like Apache for all previously
stated reasons, but I'm willing to throw this open for general
discussion. Anybody else got a feeling with logical reasons to back it?
Remember, the goal of the exercise is to promote freeware, FreeBSD in
particular. I still think the visibility of the Apache name is a plus,
but am unsure as to how far we will have to go with hardware to overcome
the deficit Marc assures me is there. Then again, is _either_ better
than Netscape, Novonyx or IIS as a webserver? Marc, did you look at the
web process tuning they did over the OOTB version? If these are RELEASE
versions, they're going to be GP webservers, too.
