Can you explain where Novell fits in here???
I thought the InternetWare and IntraNetware products were classified as "Web Servers". Do these other 'servers' run ontop on NetWare?
Can somebody explain the technical relationship here? Do you need both to run InterNetware products?
If so, is Novell developing or sells a similiar product or do they promote one of the following 3rd party servers? Which ones?
Microsoft Jumps In Latest Internet Survey

TOKYO, JAPAN, 1996 DEC 6 (NB) -- By Martyn Williams. The latest survey of Web server software, the applications that run Web sites, on the Internet has seen drops in the market share of most of the popular servers but increases for the Microsoft Internet Information Server [NASDAQ:MSFT] and Apache. UK-based Netcraft surveyed over 600,000 Web
sites on December 1 and has released details of its findings.
For the month, the Apache Web server continues to lead all others. In the December survey it claimed a 41 percent share of the survey with 247,419 servers found running the software. In second place was one- time leader NCSA with a 12.6 percent share, down almost one point from the November survey.
Microsoft's IIS software registered the biggest increase on the month with a jump from 29,613 servers to 40,466 servers, or 5.6 percent to 6.7 percent. Following in fourth and fifth places were the Communications and Commerce servers from Netscape with 5.1 and 5.0 percent respectively.
On December 1 Netcraft sent out messages to discover, automatically, what software was running each known Web server on the open Internet. It received 603,367 replies and compiled the report from this data. The survey sample was a large increase on the November survey which was compiled with data from 525,906 servers.
The company also provides a breakdown by domain name for selected domains. The important ".com" domain, which accounts for 61.8 percent of all domains, followed the top three of the general survey.
In the ".com" domain Apache led with a 41.9 percent share followed by NCSA, with 10.7 percent and Microsoft IIS, with 8.4 percent. Netscape still occupied fourth and fifth positions but its servers were switched around with the Netscape Commerce server at 5.6 percent and the Netscape Communications 5.0 percent.
Outside of the commercial domains the rankings are very different. In the ".edu" and ".mil" domains the NCSA server still leads the pack. This is probably due to a slower pace of change, less need for the commercially targeted niceties of newer servers and a closer knit community of Web masters.
National differences in Europe are also highlighted in this month's results with details of the ".uk," ".nl," ".lu" and ".gi" domains of
the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Gibraltar. Apache has a 66.2 percent share of the UK domain but manages just 30.3 percent in the Netherlands domain and 14.0 percent in Luxembourg.
The top ten Web servers in the full survey are, with number of servers and percentage share:
1. Apache, 247,419, 41%
2. NCSA, 76,210, 12.6%
3. Microsoft-IIS, 40,466, 6.7%
4. Netscape Communications, 30,644, 5.1%
5. Netscape Commerce, 30,208, 5%
6. CERN, 21,651, 3.6%
7. Microsoft Internet Information Server, 18,266, 3%
8., WebSite Pro, 12,866, 2.1%
9. Netscape Enterprise, 12,417, 2.1%
10. WebSTAR, 12,012, 2%
