Heavy duty WWW serving seems to imply putting SMP in a *production* environment. I've been running the SMP kernel for about a month now with few problems (none related to SMP code specifically), and I'd like to use it as a heavy-duty WWW server but I'm not sure that running -current on a production system is wise. Has anyone out there settled on a good, recent SNAP that could be used for heavy WWW traffic? -- Raymond L.
