The Apache Java Enterprise Mail Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is a 100% pure Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server. We have designed James to be a complete and portable enterprise mail engine solution based on currently available open protocols.

James is also a mail application platform. We have developed a Java API to let you write Java code to process emails that we call the mailet API. A mailet can generate an automatic reply, update a database, prevent spam, build a message archive, or whatever you can imagine. A matcher determines whether your mailet should process an email in the server. The James project hosts the Mailet API, and James provides an implementation of this mail application platform API.

Hiawatha is a secure webserver for Unix. It has been written with 'being secure' as its main goal. Hiawatha has many security features that no other webserver has. This and the fact that Hiawatha's source code is free of security-bugs, makes Hiawatha the most secure webserver available.

Compile and run tests of Hiawatha have successfully been done on Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS X and Cygwin. It's very likely that Hiawatha will compile and run on other Unix-clones as well.

Why should you use Hiawatha instead of Apache? Well, Apache is a big fat cow and has a damn ugly configurationfile. And if you don't have a website that needs HTTP features such as WebDAV, there is no reason to automaticly go for Apache. Especially not because everybody else does. Every webserver has its pros en cons. Hiawatha does not have all the fancy features, but it is very secure and fast and is really easy to configure. Rootjail, run CGIs under any uid/gid you want, prevention of SQL injection and cross-site scripting, banning of clients who try such exploits and many other features make Hiawatha an interesting webserver for those who need more security than what the other available webservers are offering.

Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that has, since 1992, provided file and print services to all manner of SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public License.

The VideoLAN Server (VLS) can stream MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels, and live videos on a network in unicast or multicast. A VideoLAN Client (VLC) or a set top box can receive the stream, decode, and display it.

Ravenous is a Java based web server which allow you to write dynamic web sites in Java. This however, is not a new idea.... in fact it is already being done rather well by a lot of open source projects, such as Tomcat.

What makes Ravenous different, is that it attempts to make the process of writing high performance web sites in Java as easy as possible for new comers while maintaining efficiency for experienced programmers. There are no mind numbingly large stacks of documentation to read before you can get started. There are no 500+ lines xml files to write before your code can be executed.

Zope is an open source web application server primarily written in the Python programming language. It features a transactional object database which can store not only content and custom data, but also dynamic HTML templates, scripts, a search engine, and relational database (RDBMS) connections and code. It features a strong through-the-web development model, allowing you to update your web site from anywhere in the world. To allow for this, Zope also features a tightly integrated security model. Built around the concept of "safe delegation of control", Zope's security architecture also allows you to turn control over parts of a web site to other organizations or individuals. The transactional model applies not only to Zope's object database, but to many relational database connectors as well, allowing for strong data integrity. This transaction model happens automatically, ensuring that all data is successfully stored in connected data sources by the time a response is returned to a web browser or other client.

There are numerous products (plug-in Zope components) available for download to extend the basic set of site building tools. These products include new content objects; relational database and other external data source connectors; advanced content management tools; and full applications for e-commerce, content and document management, or bug and issue tracking. Zope includes its own HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, and XML-RPC serving capabilities, but can also be used with the Apache or other web servers.

It has a very low memory footprint compared to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) make lighttpd the perfect webserver-software for every server that is suffering load problems.

the naming

lighttpd is a httpd which is

• fast as lightning and
• light if it comes to memory consumption and system requirements

As lighttpd is hard to pronounce you might call it lighty instead.
