问HN：在开源技术主导服务器之前，讨论的情况是怎样的？
我对早期互联网的理解是，当时商业闭源的服务器和数据库软件之间竞争非常激烈，而Linux、Apache、MySQL（以及现在的PostgreSQL）等的主导地位并非显而易见或理所当然。我认为我们现在在大型语言模型（LLMs）方面也处于类似的时刻。我很想阅读一些故事，或者看到一些关于这个主题的邮件列表、论坛或其他渠道的讨论示例，尤其是来自那个早期时期的。我认为这对当前的讨论会有帮助。你能分享一些那个时代的内容吗？

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?
