It's amazing just how many new iterations of well-known server and browser software has been released in the last few months:
Apache 2.2
Php 5.1.x
MySql 5.0
Ruby On Rails 1.0
.NET 2.0
SQL Server 2005
Firefox 1.5
It will likely take a bit of time (and kicking the tires) before these technologies are considered ready for mass consumption by the server admins. All the same, they continue to signify a steady march forward for internet growth and development...
