Most certainly. Macs were happily serving up web pages long before there was a decent web server for the Windows platform. I do recall that back in the 1993/94 timeframe Chuck Shotton was busy pumping out MacHTTP to a happy crowd of loyal users. Been a long time since my mind has drifted back to that era, lots of fun to be had in those days...check out http://www.machttp.org/ for more info and history. Of course, none of that is intended to suggest that it's necessarily a better platform for web serving today. No interest in repeating that religious debate anymore.
