Our last poll asked readers of this blog the question:
Are you going to try or upgrade to enterprise grade Ubuntu Linux (code-named Dapper Drake)?
Thanks to everyone, total 338 people responded to the poll. Results are as follows:
- 51% said they are happy with current setup/Linux/BSD distribution
- 33% said they are willing to upgrade
- 15% said they are not sure or they are not going to upgrade
It looks like people are following old mantra: If It’s Not Broken, Don’t Fix It. Personally I will stick to *BSD or RHEL only.
New poll: Which Webserver do you use?
Again I am using Apache 1.3x and lighttpd (for rails apps). I am interested to see what fellow sys admins are using and why?

Currently using Apache 2.0.0.63 for much of the same reasons as Winter. Been using Apache since 1997.
I use: Apache2 and Apache2.2
Why?: support for many libraries and mods and clean config – on debian at least 😉
Why not Apache 1.3?: not enough traffic to my servers to warrant the use of 1.3. It may be lighter, but it also doesn’t have as many features as >2.
Just my 2 c/p/y/etc…
IIS 6 and look forward to using IIS 7 and Window 2008. Microsoft Rulez…. 🙂
For me, Apache is the best webserver. It works great with modsecurity.
Apache Rocks. My server is not a big; just a mini running at home, presently serving my friend’s site- http://www.djdeep.co.in
It will soon start serving my site also when I have made the scripts for my new site http://www.itech7.com
And My server was started around Sep 2007 and I am sticked to Fedora 7 now but will soon upgrade to Fedora 8 (i have DVD).
Since Apache 2 is bundled with Fedora, I am using it. Also it has gr8 performance.
why not cherokee – small, fast and lightweight.

Apache rulez because:
Industry strength server
Community driven support 🙂
Open source 😀
Good books
Look at Yahoo, Google and other Dot coms. They cannot be wrong 😛
Alex, both Google and Yahoo! runs modified Apache 1.x.
Which apache, though? 1x or 2x?
I must agree with TwistedUNIX, Apache rules.
@Trx, Google uses modified version of Apache called Google Web Server (GWS).
Is Google actually using Apache? Didn’t know that…
I am all set to use LiteSpeed. It is a commercial grade web server for *nix. It has superb performance for PHP applications. We use on all our 3 web servers. You can learn more at http://litespeedtech.com/
But remember enterprise version is not free (you will get basic version free of change).
