提问 HN：在开源软件主导服务器之前，人们是如何讨论相关话题的？
1 分•作者: mbgerring•2 个月前
我对早期互联网的理解是，当时商业的、闭源的服务器和数据库软件之间存在着激烈的竞争，而 Linux、Apache、MySQL（以及现在的 PostgreSQL）等软件的崛起远非显而易见或有保障。我认为我们现在正处于一个与大型语言模型（LLM）类似的时刻，我很想阅读一些关于这个主题的早期故事，或者看看邮件列表、论坛或其他地方的讨论示例。我认为这对于奠定当今的讨论基础会很有帮助。你能分享一些那个时代的信息吗？

My understanding of the early Internet is that there was fierce competition among commercial, closed-source server and database software, and that the dominance of Linux, Apache, MySQL (and now PostgreSQL) etc were far from obvious or guaranteed. I think we’re in a similar moment with LLMs, and I’d love to read some stories, or see some examples of discourse on mailing lists, forums, or whatever on this subject from that earlier period. I think it would be helpful for grounding present-day discussions. What can you share from this era?
