The public ones run on Netscape Enterprise Server. Again, not my personal 
choice, but it's a better one than IIS. The content is all 3rd party 
stuff anyhow.

As it turns out, this whole thing is no longer a problem, since the same 
day I posted my whinge, I was told to put together a plan for moving the 
IIS webserver to unix. :) I even get to suggest an alternative to 
FrontPage if I so wish. Basically I don't care what HTML authoring tool 
people use so long as I don't have to put anything proprietary on my 
webserver (a la frontpage extensions).

So, the current plan is to use Apache, but I'll be running it on 
Solaris2.6, not linux, simply because that's what we get with an E10,000. 
I have to clean up all the current pages to remove frontpage extension 
stuff and replace it with more open stuff. I'll also have to run a script 
over the web tree to replace all the stupid spaces within filenames with 
underscores or something.. and then fix all the links. *sigh*

Basically the whole thing is a non-portable mess that was allowed to 
happen.. so now I'm going to fix it and make it good. :)
