"The ASF’s [Apache Software Foundation] first project became the world’s most popular Web server software within the first six months of its inception. The Apache HTTP Server today powers nearly 112 million Websites world-wide."

From The Apache Software Foundation Announces the 15th Anniversary of the Apache HTTP Web Server.

I’ve been using personally Apache (a patchy) server for almost 7 years, and recently I moved to another product, just to learn new things and because the Apache support of my outdated distro was over. The best part of this is it wasn’t Apache’s fault, and I know I can go back to use it anytime because it keeps rocking!

Happy birthday Apache!

Five Years of Ubuntu

Yes! Five years since I started to use this distribution. We’re far away from the following joke:

Ubuntu: African word that means I can’t install Debian.

But the feeling remains the same: an easy to install and easy to use distribution, that keeps pushing the Linux desktop and the free software forward in each release.

I think Ubuntu success is the success of all the free software, and I’m sure their pushing has been good for all the related projects distributed by them.

Happy birthday Ubuntu and keep going!
