LWN.net Closing Down 307

Anonymous Coward writes "The best Linux news site is calling it a day. Citing money problems, they are saying next weeks issue will be the last. I've been reading LWN.net since the very beginning. They have always demonstrated sanity, restraint and professionalism along with thoughtful commentary - unlike certain other well known Linux news sites. Very sad." They've had problems since last fall. It's been a good four year run for them.

You obviously didn't check. They DO use gzip compression.

"Another option would be to enable gzip compression on Apache. That would save probably 3/4 of the bandwidth they use"

Gzip is already enabled. It saves more than 75%. It also obviates whitespace-compression and many of the other things that have been discussed in this thread...

Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a mod_perl/1.27 mod_ssl/2.8.10 OpenSSL/0.9.6d
