RE: Case Studies

Excellent point indeed. I had just installed Apache 1.3 on a secondary web server a little over a week ago and found it very easy to install, and seems very flexible. One of the reasons I contacted Michelle about participating in her project last week after reading her post to this mailing list, was because I was a little disappointed about the availability of non-commercial documentation available for Apache. To you all who are familiar with it, it may seem adequate, but to a system administrator who's only worked with MS applications, it is no where near adequate. As we all know, MS does things a bit differently than the rest of the world, and it was a bit of a culture shock for me.

Still, I adopted Apache into my network because I wanted to broaden my knowledge, and I had always heard that Apache was an excellent web platform. I had less trouble installing and running Apache, than I did with IIS4! Maybe trouble isn't the appropriate word, but it took less effort certainly to run Apache initially.

I'm looking forward to working with Michelle on her project, and hope to learn much from you all. I have plans to install more Apache servers on NT4 systems, and have may install it on our Solaris servers as well.

I think you hit the mark right on the head with your comments regarding tutorials. That is indeed exactly what is needed. I will be gone on business for the next week or so, but when I return, I hope to begin fully participating in the project.
