Amen! Instead of OS holy wars, we should just use the best solution available (as long as it's not windows if possible). My favorite is a tuned up & hacked apache 2.0 and a 2.5 kernel running reiserfs, and putting all the static content into a ramdisk.
I've been looking at some cards that allow you to put like pc2100 memory into them, that have a built in battery backup, that you can use as a solid state disk.. those might be really cool..
