There is a journalist from a danish technical weekly newspaper writing an article about Wikipedia. I can answer most of his questions myself, but I need some help on these:
- What server does Wikipedia run on? I need some details about CPU, speed, RAM, harddrive and stuff like that.
- What software is running on the server? I know we use Apache, MySQL and PHP, but what versions? Do we use more programs?
- How many hits a day does Wikipedia get? Preferably I would like to know the numbers for the Danish Wikipedia and the English Wikipedia. I have seen http://www.wikipedia.org/stats/ but does that include the Danish Wikipedia?
Regards Christian

Hard drive is an IBM DDYS-T36950N.
- What software is running on the server?
I know we use Apache, MySQL and PHP, but what versions?
Apache 1.2.26 (we don't use SSL, so haven't yet upgraded for the SSl bug.) MySQL 3.2.54 PHP 4.2.2
Do we use more programs?
TeX math rendering uses TeX, Imagemagick, and ghostscript.

That's just for the English wiki, and a little out of date. I'll run updated stats in a bit...
