    Apache 2.x? No thanks!
    Apache 1.3? Still has issues!

    I think I'm going to stick with something I can really trust!

    Maybe I'll try CERN httpd 2.14, I'm not sure if 3.0 has enough of a track record.

    I am really glad they added Foxy Load Balancing. Now asianpornstarlets.com will send me data at a nice, steady pace instead of in spurts and dribbles.

    Sweet! Now I can store the 9.1GB DVD ISO's for people to download off my 33.6k Modem connected webserver!!

    ;-)

    But seriously, the timing of this feature being added couldn't be better, 5 years ago there would've been no point, but with the current rate of speed increases in home Internet, it will become somewhat more useful!

    Who needs manpages anymore? Just ask on /., and some seasoned sysadmin will come to your rescue! (note: not claiming anything about the parent poster, looks genuine though)

    Right now the *AA is planning to sue anyone running an Apache web server, as these could be used to traffic illegal downloads of DVDs!
