Ik kwam via Ars Technica bij artikel op het engelse deel van de (duitse) c't site. Tests van c't hebben aangetoond dat er een vette kever in MacOS X zit:
A fatal bug in MacOS X Server renders Apple's new operating system practically useless as a web server. The problem is particularly critical since it affects MacOS Server X release 1.0 in one of its key features.During a server load test at c't Labs, the Apache web server built into the OS caused the machine to halt with a fatal "System Panic" error following successive CGI script queries.
CGI scripts (Common Gateway Interface) are a common server extension, frequently used for web queries. The test stopped the system cold whenever 32 or more processes repeatedly requested CGI scripts from the server -- this corresponds to the activity usually caused by several hundred surfers. It was always necessary to do a hard reboot via the reset switch. Neither the restart feature ("press R to Reboot") nor the low-level debugger ("press M to Monitor") built into MacOS X would work at this point.
Ach, het idee dat je een server kunt draaien op een Mac is zo revolutionair dat niemand het aan zal durven om het uit te proberen...
