Hi again,
        I wholeheartedly agree that Apache is the best solution (or I would
not be running Webten ;) However, I only about 90% trust Netcraft's
results. I have checked a number of times what various sites I know are
running & I have had some peculiar results. Apple's own site in Australia
returned a result of Apache on BSD, when I know it was running Webstar at
the time & another site which has never deviated from Apache on Free BSD,
was returned as Netscape Enterprise solution.
        My own server while I was running Webstar during evaluation,
returned a version 2, where I was running 4.0.2, though the next try 2
minutes later, brought up the correct version. Maximum Linux magazine even
wrote in their second issue I think, in response to a reader asking about
why tey weren't running linux, check it again. Netcraft is a good resource,
but definitely not infallible.


        Bye for now, Terry Allen
