But you can only run one web server or mail server at once (at least
on
the standard ports), and it makes sense to limit the number of this type
of packages.
I would say that the web servers (and mail servers) are largely personal (or
religious) choices. There are numerous quality web servers in existence:
Apache, Cadium, thttpd, AOLserver, Boa, etc. While I'm an Apache man myself,
I'd have to say I don't have any particularly solid reasons for using Apache
over any of the other servers (other than I learned Apache first).
I also don't see how having multiple web (or mail) servers in Fedora would be
any sort of pain... Especially assuming Fedora is maintained by a large enough
community.
I'm also a sendmail man; I still haven't switched to Postfix (though I'm
looking to). And I'm interested in giving Cadium a fair examination (because
Pike looks damned interesting).
Anyways, I just don't see how the web browsers situation is any different from
the web servers situations (or how the mail clients situation is any different
from the mail servers situation [I definately think Fedora should provide at
least Sendmail, Postfix, and qmail {hotmail.com wouldn't use qmail if it wasn't
good for something}]).
Okay, I'm done now,
Derek
