High-profile anti-Unix site runs Unix

 

[Nothinman]

I figured it was an April fool's joke, while I'm still not 100% convinced Netcraft agrees: The site www.wehavethewayout.com is running Rapidsite/Apa-1.3.14 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.5a on FreeBSD.

"The site, dubbed "We have the way out," runs on Web servers powered by FreeBSD..." He he he! 😀

Anyone remember the problems they had moving Hotmail from BSD to Win2k?

 

[manly]

Actually this was discussed on Slashdot last week, so it's not a 4/01 thing.

Actually the problems were during the first migration attempt, to NT 4.0. They have
apparently since then converted (most) of hotmail over to W2K. At least Netcraft seems
to think so.

Netcraft can only query the web servers, there's no way to really be sure what the backend database and mail servers are.

LoL - It is a joke but a joke on MS. This has been disccused before 4/1/02 on other sites. It's not very smart of them to use or hire people that use Unix to host their Anti-Unix site. Damn MS can never get anything done right the first time around for some reason.

ROFLMAO!! Here's some jokes I seen posted on other sites.

Microsoft/Unisys
"We Have The Way Out"
...and it's our competition!


Microsoft/Unisys
"We Have The Way Out"
...but we forgot to mention it to our advertisers


Microsoft/Unisys
"We Have The Way Out"
...we just chose not to use it, that's all...Really...Stop laughing!


and finally...
