Interesting snippet from Netcraft... Be sure and click the 2nd link in the sentence, but forget about the poll, they've disabled it...

So, I'll post it HERE!!

Moonglobe

You also forgot QNX! shame shame, twould be so sweet to run a webserver off a nice tiny ONX box. Heck, or even off LegOS! wheeeee! 🙂

And they run Linux. It's always funny to see a company sue themselves for using illegal software. Stay tuned, folks.

Hey, I had room for ten options. I chose nine, either because I didn't wanna post a poll with all those options, or specifically to offend Moonglobe (heh, kidding, dude!), so, post your favorite OS in your comments, and let's get on with it....

I, for one, would love a couple more examples like the original and Jstarkeys....

....brings to mind the well known case of Hotmail servers running BSD. 🙂

All kinds of hypocrites, aren't there?

It's even worse when a site makes a point of being strongly opposed to a platform:

Netcraft also mentions that linuxsux.com is on Linux at present...

I think they're just trying to be diverse 🙂

Hey, is that one of those 3D cookies? The red and blue look like the old godzilla movie 3D outlines.

Can't find my glasses 😃

Interesting, indeed. Now consider that "www.apple.com" is a CNAME for "www.apple.com.akadns.net" and that akadns.net is really basically akamai.com, and you have a major computer manufacturer that doesn't host their own site 😕 :eek:

But, that is, I suppose, "akamization" at its finest...

Is that a 3D cookie? If I wear those cyan/red glasses, will it pop out at me? (It appears to be red and blue...)

[Edit]Seems I'm late, jstarkey already posted that... Perhaps I should read the whole thread before posting... yarg[/edit]

I wanna know what the deal is with that little "baby" cookie at the bottom 🙂

I think it's a crumb..

goldbug

Don't you guys know what cookie feces looks like? sheesh. 🙂

/me bows to the Queen...

You've done it again, hon...

Elizabeth

What, you mean cookie feces is OT from "A curious contribution to open source advocacy?" 😃

Well, I don't think the *BSD's will take 'em, you might send 'em to the Linux guys instead....
