Er... I don't think I agree with you. The name of the software is "Apache HTTP Server". Saying that the name of the software is Apache is ignoring the fact that there are about 40 other projects equally capable of taking the name 'Apache': Everything from 'Apache Jackrabbit' to 'Apache Xalan'. "Apache" is totally non-specific, and I've had people tell me they have 'Apache' running when what they really have running is Tomcat. This confusion obviously sucks, but I don't think someone can claim that either Debian or Red Hat is in the right here, since neither calls it apache-httpd :) Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt Web Developer _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
