But, if you don't use IIS then what web server would you use in Windows? I mean isn't that the industry standard for web servers? After all it is, easy to use, robust and reliable, isn't it?
Hehe, man this is good stuff.
The part that, I believe anyhow, was meant to be funny by the original
'jokester' was that a "Linux Users Group" website was running on
Windows and by that would inherit the known issues of IIS and therefore
be unstable - quite the contrary to nearly any Linux + Apache
installation.
It could also be a poke towards the LUG regarding the time when the
kclug.org DNS got borked and the kclug.org site would not resolve
properly and hence would not get served to requesting clients, this
made the appearance that the webserver was "down" and immediately, this
group being full of smart ass geeks, the root of the failure was
attributed to many illogical (presumably humorous) possible culprits.
Either that or he is an idiot, I am not sure.
