Are you saying I'm wrong, or that running a web server on a linux box isn't the best idea? :-) While I'll agree that FreeBSD makes a better web server, most up-to-date linux distributions come with a web server, and as I stated, RedHat 2.0 and later comes with apache. I know this from experience. I'm currently running Redhat 2.0 at home, (and on the firewall at work, for masquerading), but I use FreeBSD 2.1 on the web server at work and on my development machine at work. I'll probably switch my home machine over as soon as I replace a dead drive. However, the only reason I'm doing this is because Linux ppp has a quirk on my system where all of a sudden it will start loosing packets. Everything thinks it's working, but the network link is dead. The only reason I originally went with Linux in the first place is because way back then, Linux had unified memory pool and dynamic shared libraries, and BSD didn't (I don't think there was a FreeBSD yet). Both OS's have their place.
