This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------F13E4706EF62CC039273077B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I was thinking about Yahoo! They use FreeBSD and they have made somewhere in a lost corner an article about why they use FreeBSD. They also put FreeBSD in little, after a lot of stuff (like Intel, Perl etc...) http://www.yahoo.com/info/misc/contributors.html So, AltaVista have a big link to digital and Alpha. Why not asking Yahoo to put a little link, on the first page "Why Yahoo is so fast" or simply "FreeBSD" Am I asking the impossible or can we do that?

Maybe we can get Nicholas Petreley to poke the InfoWorld Labs into doing a fair cross-platform test with a pair of different real-world webserver configurations, like, say 32MB on a P75 and 256MB on a P-][? Each OS-vendor gets to set up its software as best it can, given the config hardware and test website, then they run the test battery. It would be perhaps a bit more complex to test, but we could even allow CGI on one and Frontpage on the other, giving each team 2 weeks to code the website to a specification.
