Introduction IntroductionAbout a year ago, a minor debate popped up on the linux-kernel mailing list over use of particular servers and operating systems, and the popularity thereof. A couple of folks posited that the real test of a high-volume ecommerce server wasn't something wussified like Amazon, that the real test of pumping out files wasn't a toy like cdrom.com; rather the real test of server power was porn sites.
And who am I to argue? So, in order to provide an, ahem, alternative view on system suitability to high volume work, allow me to present... the smutcraft survey.
