In a desperate attempt to head off a political flamewar I'm clearly
responsible for setting off, I'm going to answer Bruce's question, at
least partially. I obtained data for the major and minor party
candidates whose names or party's names I knew or could easily find out.
Apologies if I left off your favorite candidate or party--no
partisanship was intended.

Each entry in the table below represents the most recent query by the
Netcraft survey (www.netcraft.com) for the FQDN beginning with www.

Domain OS   Server
-- --   --

badnarik.org   LinuxApache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)
georgewbush.comWindows Server 2003  Microsoft-IIS/6.0
johnkerry.com  LinuxApache/1.3.27 (Unix)
peroutka2004.com   FreeBSD  Apache/1.3.29 (Unix)
votenader.org  LinuxApache

gp.org LinuxApache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian
lp.org FreeBSD  Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)
reformparty.orgLinuxApache/1.3.31 (Unix) 

Summary
---

Apache runs 73% of these sites; IIS runs 27%. Considering the small
sample size, that's pretty consistent with Netcraft's overall
statistics, which show Apache running slightly less than 70% of the 55+
million sites surveyed, with IIS at about 20% and everybody else (Sun,
NCSA, etc.) splitting the remainder.

I think Roger is trying to say that the nhfordean.com site runs on
Linux. (As do a number of other political sites.) Funny how that doesn't
get mentioned in the news.

Oh, was that the point?  After seeing:

in the whois results, I thought it some kind of joke about his 'animal

the site ran on Linux from the whois database, other than that Roger was
the contact listed.  But what nhfordean.com had to do with the
conversation at hand escaped me.  It seemed as relevent as mod's
comment, which was as apropos for this list as this entire thread.

The all-knowing google, using this search:

  http://www.google.com/search?q=politician+web+sites+linux+vs.+windows

reveals:

which of course points to Netcraft.

 Politics and power
 should be accessible for public scrutiny in any government that wants

 Except we're a Republic, weakened by direct-election of senators and
an 
 income tax, currently for sale to corporate interests so that 
 politicians can pay for media advertising to manipulate the votes of
an 
 uneducated populous.

I know... but the politicians never say that, because they want you to
think you have more power than you do to influence things.  It makes
the population happier, and easier to control.  There's a reason that
political science programs teach Machiavelli...

Anyway, this is not the place for these discussions, so I'll bow out
now.  :)

Kudos to the admin at votenader for being the only one sensible enough 
to turn off the servertokens. ('ServerTokens ProductOnly' in 
httpd.conf)

Jeers to Apache for leaving it on by default...
Food for thought - Nader's privacy oriented - here privacy paranoia 
helps security; does it scale to the nation?

 wire.
 I know this message is a bit cryptic but this is still an open issue so
 I'm not going to go into the details of why. Reasons will become clear

  So, there's a gaping security hole in CVS that hasnt been announced I take it?

  Can you give us a little extra info, aka, is it pserver related, etc?

Sure, you could go setup a filter, but back in the day good Usenet 
clients had a quick 'kill this thread' feature that could be set to 
expire in n days so your killfile didn't clutter up with long-forgotten 
threads.

That would be handy for lots of mailing lists.

Gnus (running in X?Emacs) supports this, but then again Gnus thinks
