They are not using a window server, but BSD. >From the same newsletter: Server: After years of running the web server on OS/2 I decided to move to FreeBSD as a server OS for various reasons which I would like to explain because some people do not seem to understand that:   - My daytime job is administrating servers, most servers I run are FreeBSD so I know this OS pretty well   - netlabs.org provides mainly software for the desktop. I prefer to invest time in organizing netlabs.org itself than debugging issues on the server just because most of the software I run on the server are made for Unix (TRAC, Subversion, Apache...) and might not work on OS/2 that easy   - I do much more on this server than just providing basic services like a little bit of PHP & MySQL. We use quite a bunch of software on this server, see http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/R2-d2 if you are interested in the details   - FreeBSD works just fine on this dualcore AMD CPU and because the server is in Hamburg (Germany) and I live in Biel (Switzerland) I didn't feel like experimenting on new hardware   - we simply have much more important things to discuss than the OS of netlabs.org. Talk about Voyager for example! :-) Kind regards, Frank
