i wish there was a place with the prices of rackshack that used debian. i'd be happy with freebsd, too. (the popularity of redhat on servers is totally baffling to me.)

paul prescod wrote nine simple rules for “extreme web services” (but you have to wonder what the tenth rule in what was obviously supposed to be a list of ten rules was.) i would extend his rule #5 a bit, to recognize the non-xml and non-http standards that are still important. (particularly mime and smtp.)

(side note: i hate yahoo groups.)
