> they run their site on FreeBSD and Apache.

Which means probably nothing at all. I think CAGW outsourced their
website hosting and the company who takes the least money from them
choose to run their webserver on F/OSS.

It does mean one thing - FOSS has shown by the webhosting company's example that it can be the price/performance leader in at least one domain.

Something that should give CAGW some pause in their conclusion that this initiative will "limit competition and raise costs."
