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 :-)
