Maybe we should just use the word FRAP
(FreeBSD,Ruby,Apache,PostgreSQL) as opposed to LAMP 
You can add three more machines running this combination.
Interesting.
Could this possibly have some deeper philosophical reasons? I have choosen both
FreeBSD over Linux and Ruby over Python because they somehow more match the way
I am thinking.

could you elaborate? i’m in the process of setting up some new machines and
was planning on Linux, Ruby, Apache, PostgreSQL - along with fastcgi and
amirta.

For what it’s worth, I’m running Linux, Apache, Ruby and MySQL for my
main Ruby application. The other one is an OS X box, but I don’t use a
DB or web server on it.
For me, choosing Linux was a matter of convenience. I didn’t have a
particular role for the server in mind, and wanted an easy install, so
RedHat was all I needed. It’s been doing fine, running for months on
end with minimal maintenance needed, until the power failed of course.
I think for a “mission critical” box, I’d probably use either Debian or
FreeBSD. From what I understand, both are harder to install but more
reliable and easier to keep up to date than RedHat. If I needed
multi-user concurrant DB access, I’d probably go for PostgreSQL, but I’m
more comfortable with MySQL and it does what I need for now.
For me it’s a combination of laziness, familiarity and simplicity that
has kept me with RedHat and MySQL. Philosophy has had nothing to do
with it.
