Alternatives to LAMP</a>, informit.com, June 2, 2006 |

While "Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP" get most of the attention, |
|
there are alternatives to each that are, in some way, better. |
|
David Chisnal starts this article with a look at OS alternatives, |
|
and OpenBSD gets the most detailed coverage, including this: |
|
"When it comes to security, OpenBSD has a well-earned reputation |
|
as the operating system for the truly paranoid. The entire kernel |
|
and base system, including the OpenBSD fork of Apache, undergoes a |
|
constant auditing process. The OpenBSD attitude is that any bug is |
|
potentially exploitable, and when a bug is found by the auditing |
|
team the next step is to attempt to remove every single occurrence |
|
of that category of bug. This approach leads to an incredibly secure |
|
system." Also talks about our pioneering use of W^X and the |
|
"incredibly powerful and easy to configure" packet filter, pf. |
