I know, I just can't stop pimping AOLserver (http://aolserver.com/) but I consider it "raising awareness" and "education" since so few people realize how cultured its pedigree is.

1. The Global Network Navigator was a website established by O'Reilly & Associates in 1993, making it one of the first commercial websites on the World Wide Web. Its main purpose was a guide to various services available on the Internet.
The website was sold to America Online in 1995, and was turned into an Internet service provider as a counter-point to the main online service which at the time had limited Internet access. When AOL introduced its flat rate in 1996 along with full Internet access, GNN was discontinued. GNN's accounts were rolled-over into AOL.
Lisa Gansky served as GNN's CEO. Jennifer Robbins was GNN's designer.
Wikipedia is your friend. ;)
