Phantom Spaceman Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 I suppose I just found it funny, that the site who's base news reporting and 90% of the community is about windows. Maybe that's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PseudoRandomDragon Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I hope nobody starts a Win vs Lin thing. They run Linux, good for them. The only time this should be mentioned in a argument is if someone makes a stupid comment like "Die Linux Die!!!Q" or "Linux is garbage". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesnt start a flame war, not what I meant it to do. I was just excited that my favorite OS is running on my favorite news site. Oh well, if someone wants to flame that's their choice. Never underestimate the power of stupidity. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted March 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2004 We've always run Linux, mainly because the cost of running Server2003/Exchange2003 is too much and because our main coder Redmak is an excellent PHP coder and we don't require any features in ASP/ASP.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveoc64 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 If it does what Neowin needs it to do I don't see why anyone would have any problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice912 Veteran Posted March 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2004 More like just took the time out of my day to notice. Oh, ok. :happy: AFAIK, most of the "Windows" news sites run off Linux. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=pro-networks.org http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=winmatrix.com http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=coolemoticons.com http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=betas4u.com http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=mess.be http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=messbase.nl http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=ntfs.org http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=softpedia.com http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=iexbeta.com http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=betanews.com http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=geeknewz.com ^ All Linux, and Windows-based sites, to a degree. Though I did run into a few, like winsupersite, who run off a Windows server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted March 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2004 Linux is superb in this kind of role (web server & database server), so its not really a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studies from Microsoft show that Linux has a 40% higher Total Cost of Ownership! We gotta get these guys on a Windows platform immediately, so they can save money! Just a joke, guys!

Takaras Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 You find a site 90% about windows runnning on linux as ironic? I was just excited that my favorite OS is running on my favorite news site. I find it ironic that your favorite OS is linux and your favorite news site is 90% about windows. :D gotta love irony.....there are a lot of linux supporters in Neowin though. I'm surprised you didn't notice it on the front page news post when neowin last switched servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pHuzi0n Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 A web server runs Linux, big suprise there... Even Microsoft themselves run Linux on some of their servers although they're trying to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
