Many people know, from their own experience, that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl, it's very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start. The philosophy behind XAMPP is to build an easy to install distribution for developers to get into the world of Apache. To make it convenient for developers XAMPP is configured with all features turned on. (The default configuration is not good from a securtiy point of view and it's not secure enough for a production environment.) To check that XAMPP is working some sample programs are included, there is a small CD collection program (written in PHP using MySQL) and a small guest book software (written in Perl) and several other demonstration utilities.

ThreadMaster is an application based CPU Quota management tool that monitors threads and handles high CPU utilization on a per application basis. This function is primarily intended for Terminal servers hosting multiple users. ThreadMaster can also be used when running multiple virtual machines on the same server, to limit each virtual machines CPU usage. ThreadMaster is a background service implementing a CPU Quota mechanism on top of the standard thread scheduling algorithms of the Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating Systems.

Enhydra is the first and leading Open Source Java/XML application server. Over 4 years in development it was open sourced on Janurary 15th 1999.
The Enhydra.org project is similar to Apache, but with a focus on E-Business software revolving around the application server. It now consists of thousands of developers and committers from over 50 countries! You can count on the project because it is backed by a number of commercial sponsors. Many of these are able to offer commercial products, support, consulting and training.
Enhydra's design and evolution was driven out of real world consulting experience and thus facilitates the rapid development and deployment of Java™ and XML based applications.
