In a half page sidebar they document "The Linux Alternative", by Peter Varhol, in which they set up Apache on a 33Mhz, 16MB 486. It concludes Overall, if you're looking for a fast, inexpensive way to get a Web site up and running and you have a working knowledge of Unix, there are few better choices than Linux. Given the recent spate of volunteers to write articles, perhaps someone could contact them with a rebuttal? I think there's an opportunity here to do a complete article, concentrating on 'Web Servers for Unix', with the OS in question being FreeBSD. There's even an opportunity for a "The NT Alternative" sidebar, to conclude "Overall, if you're looking for a fast, inexpensive way to get a Web site up and running, there are few worse choices than NT. . ." I'll plead lack of time, lack of resources, and lack of article writing skill. The person to contact is probably Michael Floyd, editor in chief, at editors@web-techniques.com. The URL of their web site is left as an exercise for the reader. . .
