The following article by Josh McHugh in Forbes on-line
http://www.forbes.com/forbes/98/0810/6209094a.htm
is a must read for anybody who is looking at applying on-line
technology. It answers a little asked question; Why do the Internet
sites with the heaviest traffic use freeware? Although it concentrates
on the Linux OS and fails to mention the FreeBSD OS (that YAHOO,
Hotmail, and many others use) it is very informative. That these systems
and servers are getting to the level of industrial awareness where
Forbes will write about them is significant.
