Hi Nadav,
A friend of mine, a developer on Apache/PHP on Win2K, has numerously
claimed that the open source model won't work. It's not out of bad
intentions -- I'm sure he'd like to see it working out -
but simple logics tell him it can't work.
And then, there are the facts. 60% HTTP servers run by Apache, Linux
powering loads of mail and FTP servers around, major sites run on Linux
/ FreeBSD, not to mention cheap firewalls and NATs. At that friend's
workplace, they've ended up swapping the Win2K server with a Linux one.
(and besides, there are no losing and winning those projects -- all is
important is to "stay afloat" and have fun)
One concern though, is whether the community could pull complicated
applications -- not an MTA / HTTP server, but things like groupware
servers. Some guys think that's exactly where Linux gonna fail in favor
of commercial vendors. We'll see about that ...

Best regards,
Ilya Konstantinov
