Well, Jaye has already volunteered one of his own machines, also on a T1. However, he's running the netscape commerce server on his so it strikes me that we could do this as a larger test, sort of like a chili contest.. :-) We have `n' machines, each chosen to represent some demographic in the W3 world. Right now I see this as: o #1 - Jaye: Represents what you can do with a real commercial transaction server (netscape). Maybe even put up some secure pages to give it a good test. This will make the commercial folks feel good since they're seeing the actual software under test that they themselves would be using and won't be quick to dismiss the Apache test results as inapplicable to them. o #2 - Piero-US: Represent what you can put together with entirely free components (Apache?). o #3 - Piero-EU: Same as #2 but so the Europeans can participate in the test too. We run the test for a 24/48/72 hour period, whichever you folks think is best or can stand, after which each machine's stats are collated and put together into a large report which is distributed widely. This could really be an event, if we handle it right. Jordan
