Mike-
Thanks for the correction. I agree, Open Source is wonderful. I would like
to share with the group a personal experience at my work with Open Source vs.
Something else. When I got there the company was running a web site using
ASP on NT. Hundreds of lines of code to do email forms! T
Interesting conversation, so here's my $.02.
I work for a small ISP. We're migrating from Windows to Linux (don't blame
me for the NT, I'm moving us to Linux as fast as I can...) and I've played
with RedHat and Mandrake. (I very breifly played with OpenBSD, but the
install was over my head a
With enough time and effort, you can cutomized just
about any distribution to act as a powerful server,
even with a fancy desktop on it! Though, I must
admit, I am as intriguied as the next system
administrator about running FreeBSD. -Al

It's been a good discussion. I just thought I might point out your not
really using the term `commercial' correctly [many Open Source folk
don't]. The opposite of Open Source is closed source. The opposite of
commerical is non-commercial.
Mandrake is a commercial Open Source OS - the commerce
Thank you for your thoughts and thank you to everyone who has responded. I
have to look at a couple of things. First off, Debian seems to shy away from
any commercial products, I have been told that is why KDE is not included,
you can install it, but it is not part of it. If I were to go wit

If you're looking for case studies of high traffic sites, both MS Hotmail
and Persian Kitty [the biggest sites in their respective
categories or webmail and porn] primarily use FreeBSD.
Yahoo [biggest search engine] uses FreeBSD for its front end, but is now

I hate to say this but the ISP's I know in the midwestern US run FreeBSD or
Unix. I've been on one provider several years; his only planned downtime is
hardware upgrades. It's the best connection in four-states and he runs
FreeBSD..

Hmmn. Performance is likely to be pretty much the same for both
distributions. Open Source software installation is much easier on Debian
[packages are downloaded and pdependencies worked out automatically].
Closed source aps [which you might have a need of] are generally more
available for RP
I've heard that FreeBSD is less prone to problems in a production
environment also. However, we run RedHat 6.2 24/7 and have very few
problems.

Hi all,
I do not want to start a Holy War or anything of that nature. I am looking
for honest success stories on using Mandrake in a production web environment
for web hosting and postgres for serving the php pages.
My professional experience has been with BSDI, FreeBSD, Solaris and NT for
