<font size="+3">

  Open Source Software is widely distributed on server's for the
  following reasons:

  <ul>

     <li>Designed by technical people for technical people/tasks</li>

     <!-- For technical people doing technical tasks, users don't care
          about what webserver they are hitting .. they just want the
          pages -->

     <li>Innovative</li>

     <!-- Lots of new features created by people who have heavily used
          a software product are added.  SQUID, Apache, etc. took the
          lead cause they had lots of useful features not found
          elsewhere -->

     <li>Ease of administration</li>

     <!-- Close integration with OSS tools allows people with a high
          amount of knowledge to quickly work on software.
          Proprietary products often hide lots of features from the
          user and try to administrate via Wizards and GUIs which are
          targeted towards novices and often prove a hindrance for
          experts -->

     <li>Bug Fixes/Reporting/Patching</li>

     <!-- Can fix the bugs yourself, or find others who know how to
          fix bugs.  Don't have to rely on a vendor to do the work and
          decide to release the code, plus they may not prioritize you
          bug -->

  </ul>

  This is not to say that OSS is perfect for all server apps,
  sometimes the big vendors have the time and money to develop
  features not commonly deployed.  ORACLE has a lot of these.
