No .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux Linux .... refers to the family of Unix-like computer operating systems that use the Linux kernel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_HTTP_Server The Apache HTTP Server .... is web server software .... -- Stanley C.

Netcraft sez they have the ability to determine the OS as well as the webserver software when they are surveying a site -- but I don't know where they keep such data for OS instead of what was presented. The main page link I posted has the June survey graphs and data the way they present it. I assumed that the vast majority of apache webservers were running on linux, not MS or OS/2 or Mac OSes - all of which apache has versions or ports. -- Mike Easter

No, but Apache is built for Linux and the windows version is a kick-off from that. Nobody in their right mind would set up Apache on a Window$ servers, if the free Linux version is more stable. Except Balmer and Bare Bottoms, I suppose. []'s PS You dont even need a gui for Apache. Or PHP or Mysql ...

The link and 'data' you posted is just one big assumption, no reliable data whatsoever. One would have to go somewhere else to try to get real data to substitute for what was presented in the article and posted by you here. Even if you go to the link that the article you posted linked to, you still aren't at any real data yet -- so I made an assumption based on real data, while you posted bogus data, while assuming it was actually true. -- Mike Easter |
