This forums is for OS project announcements including project openings, new releases, update notices, test requests, and job openings (both paying and volunteer).
After my latest porting effort I now present the Apache web server running natively on Pedigree: Clicky (1650 pixels wide - sorry!)
EDIT: Clicky 2 (same size, but this one has the kernel log in the background as well )
It's taken around a day and a half of work to implement the missing functionality and fix up the configure scripts to work correctly, but it's all done now .
Once again, Pedigree makes everyone else's OSes look like pure and utter **** </sarcasm>
Good job, guys!

So are you saying it's easier to write a full featured web server(multiple processes, secure, modules, MIME types, etc etc) than to port apache? Anyone can make a little thing that spits out HTTP headers...
[edit]
Anyway! Good job, are you going to have us up a live site soon so we can mess around and try to find bugs? lol
Your next fun thing to port should be SSH I would be amazed

I'd definitely say that writing a fully-featured web server is difficult, probably more so that porting apache, but never specified the features the web server has.
OrOS: don't pour gasoline and nox on the flames. There might be a backdraft and/or arson charges.

Nice work! I'm definitely awaiting a test web server.
For the people that are either engaged in a "from scratch" vs. "ported" war: this is not the place, either make a new thread in general ramblings/auto-delete or refrain from pouring gasoline on the fire.
I now plan to wait for a stable release, download the .iso, burn it to a CD, and install it alongside my custom Windows 95 on my old laptop.
