<cringe>... Well, if it is stable enough and you can work with it. I
guess it should be the call of the one taking care of the web site (I
know *I* wouldn't want to work on NT!). Even more so if the site is done
using tools portable back and forth between Unix and Win32, like PHP3.
PHP3 code is database-independent, right?

If it is not intrusive, it would be okay. Advertisement on
linuxgames.com or slashdot.org are good examples of acceptable
advertisement.
