Webware+Python+PostgreSQL+Apache on FreeBSD is very stable and fast. I've had MySQL crap out on me enough not to trust it with anything but a report database that can be re-constructed from a real data store like PostgreSQL.

(More of a database issue I think.) PostgreSQL requires a GPL'd library on Windoz, so this will work for prototypes but not for production unless you are GPL. The above combination on Win2K with cygwin (using the non-cygwin Python) works acceptably on a laptop computer... but it runs about 10x slower on the same hardware as compared to FreeBSD. | Any thoughts/comments? Thanks. I wouldn't give it a moments thought... plough ahead as it is smooth sailing.
