    A lot of commentors seem to think that this is the final release of Apache. It is not. This is the final release of Apache 1.3... Apache HTTP Servers 2.0 and 2.2 are still being maintained.

    (As an aside, can somebody explain to me how I ended up with 15 mod points? I've never seen this before)

    I know you're joking, but actually Apache 2.0 was released 10 years ago next month. I remember sitting in the audience at ApacheCon 2000 when they released it. Anyone who is still on 1.3 has been sitting on it for far too long.

    OpenBSD shipped with 1.x when I installed it (still does, I think), and that's what I'm running.

    This was obviously a joke. Slashdot is still run by a mess of perl scripts. They've yet to drag themselves into early last decade.

    It seems you are both correct, slashdot is hosted by Apache 1.3.41 and perl:
