Hmm, odd that we use it then - both About.com and Freeservers.com use
clusters of Apache web servers on FreeBSD(About) and Linux(Freeservers)
with data stored on Net Apps.

I personally prefer the Open Source paradigm to the proprietary one
because I'm paranoid about certain things. Also, I find it too much of a
cop out to gripe about software without trying to fix it myself. With
proprietary stuff, all I can do s say "gneh, it doesn't work" whereas with
an open source project, I can (theoretically) get the source and trace the
problem (which I have done in the past) or STFU. Also, the release
intervals are usually smaller with open source stuff.

To each their own I spose.
