This is not a political post in any way. I have been researching some site load issues lately and found it interesting to look this data up considering the traffic these sites are surely seeing at this point in time…

Dear Mr Presidential candidate, as a techno-geek there is something that is important to me; what is your platform? I mean, what are you running on…and how will you serve the internet people…?

George W Bush (georgewbush.com)
Windows 2000, IIS – ASP.NET!

John Kerry (johnkerry.com)
RedHat Linux, Apache 1.3.27, Python variant

Howard Dean (howarddean.com)
Linux variant, Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.4

John Edwards (johnedwards.com)
Linux variant, Stronghold

Wesley Clark (clark04.com)
Linux variant, Apache 1.3.28

Joe Lieberman (joe2004.com)
FreeBSD, Apache 1.3.12

Dennis Kucinich (kucinich.us)
Linux variant, Apache 1.3.27

Al Sharpton (sharpton2004.org)
Linux variant, Apache 2.0.40

Isn't that interesting. I've always noted that the Microsoft v. Linux wars are almost the same as Republican/Democrat wars. Now I have some proof to back that up.

I seriously wonder if the candidates have any input in to the decision of which operating system on which their website runs.

I seriously doubt they care.
