linux geeks are even more self righteous than mac geeks. and that is OK i guess, as i am quite the self righteous mac geek... yes, opey, even a mac makes a great webserver! WebSTAR can be easily remotely managed with it's Admin app, which, btw, uses port 80 and an encrypted connection. i have an iMac 333 with 160 MB ram running os 8.6 webstar 4.0, Lasso middleware and filemaker with 50 virtual domains on it. i get 130,000 hits a week, (which isn't much), and it is idling! The army's descision to go with a mac just underscores the fact that the mac can and does perform better than NT, and is MUCH easier to manage than NT or any flavor of UNIX...
