This site is developed exclusively on GNU/Linux systems, and currently
all of our web mirrors are running GNU/Linux as well. Why? Because it is
reliable, portable, and fun to tinker with. |
 |
Our web servers run the Apache HTTP daemon - it is flexible and reliable
and we can't imagine a world without it. |
 |
Several Perl scripts are used to convert
the HTML-ized SGML documents to fit into the site for
easier online viewing and to generate the list of their contents. |
 |
This site heavily uses PHP scripting to
maintain a consistent look with dynamically generated headers and footers and
to generate some information on the fly, such as the
news page. |

The GNU Image Manipulation Program is
nearly equivalent to Adobe Photoshop. So
near in fact that Adobe recommends it to Linux users who cannot use Photoshop
themselves! |
