Introduction To Apache 2.0

Covalent is doing a webcast with Ryan Bloom giving a talk on Apache 2.0. I have heard Bloom's talk a few times now, and if you are interested in learning a bit more about 2.0 you might want to listen in. There is more information here, and a sign-up form here.

Honestly this isn't a flame, but why does your Exchange server take up so much time? Now I will admit that it's easy to bash certain platforms here, but as an Exchange engineer for several years, I have found that when set up properly, it requires little or no maintenance. All you have to do is keep backups and keep quotas on people's mailboxes.

From everything I've seen, Apache 2.x just plain rocks, but shouldn't the OS/App be just a tool for getting work/play done? Shouldn't you be trying to pick the best OS/App for the job, and not just the trendy one?

Bynari has a product to oust that Exchange server.

I've tried Openmail and it is good but needs a little work to get it setup and running. The biggest problem is now that HP is dropping it. i know it is 5 years but try to tell it to the PHB. I've got a pretty good handle on Exchange and could live with it for the internal calendaring, etc. if I have to but will keep my eyes open for reasonable alternatives. External traffic is handled by a Linux box. There are several projects to replace Exchange in the works but most are just trying to get off the ground right now.

Apache Win32

I know a lot of people don't like Win32 but I'm glad it is there to use. I recently moved my home setup from Apache, MySQL, PHP 4 on NT over to Linux and am testing a FreeBSD box too. I wasn't able to test Apache 2.0a until I got moved over (no MS compiler) and I love it so far. I'm glad there are resources like this webcast to get up to speed on what's going on.

Now I'm trying to pitch Apache to replace my company's IIS setup for our small (10-20 hits/day)intranet site. First we put in Apache, then we make NT go away. Linux is already taking care of our proxy and DNS needs. Samba will help me replace the NT file servers which leaves me with an Exchange server and a proprietary NT archive server to deal with. Of course those 2 machines will take more of my time than they should but what else are you going to do?

Here [google.com] is a link to an old Linux World article talking about how HP had/has a product that is a drop in replacement for M$ Exchange.
