Anyone know of a good/quick (and free) way to compress HTML code?

Well, if your priority is to have your server running on 128M memory or
other low spec hardware, then fine, go with Linux, that's not the priority
for most businesses.

W2003 is an excellent server.

Add in SQL 2005 and Exchange Server - on decent hardware, needless to say -
and you've got a set up that will handle anything that most businesses can
through at it.

If your priority is to waste money on unnecessary hardware, then fine -
go with Windows. Cost and reliability are the priority for most
businesses - why do you think the vast majority of the web runs on Linux?

I've got one customer still on W2K3. With 512Mb they still don't
perform as well - even on static pages - as my Linux systems running on
128Mb.

And when you bring asp or asp.net into it, it's much slower and more
resource hungry than either Perl or PHP.

And my Linux systems cost several thousand dollars less than the
equivalent Windows systems.
