[WEB4LIB] RE: Advice on Linux

[Euan Morton]

Dan,

We are running O'Reilly's Website on NT and, like you, have been pleased
with it. It is now owned by Deerfield and the latest release is 3.1.13.0.

Of course, having said that we are looking at moving to Websphere and Apache
later this year. ;-)

"Most people don't realise how important librarians are.
I ran across a book recently which suggested that the
peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to
how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight
overstatement, but a culture that doesn't value its
librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas,
well, where are we ?"
