RE: NT vs Unix on the Internet

[Peter Mayne <Peter.Mayne () digital com>]

Start at http://www.apache.org/, take the site survey link at the bottom
of the page, and check out some figures and graphs for "Internet as a
whole" type stuff.

(If I use a VMS Web server with a blank SYSTEM password, and that server
is hacked, does that say something about the security of VMS, or my
idiocy in configuring it?)
