The problem with this is spreading the word and making all web page creators adhere to this. A large percentage of web pages have no META tags and they've been in existance for years. A laaaarge percentage of web sites don't have robots.txt (not because they don't need them but rather because their webmasters don't know about robots.txt), etc. If you could make people (and companies selling web page design tools like HomeSite and Dreamweaver, etc.) agree that this is a good idea and then use it, this would be nice, but people can't agree on much simpler things, so...
That's just a regular Apache web server separated from Apache server with mod_perl, so that httpd processes that serve images don't consume more memory than they need to.

How far behind the U.S. is it? (western/south Europe... UK, France, Italy, Spain...)
It's becoming common in metropolitan areas in the U.S. and one can get it for less than US$100/month for personal use (about 160 KB/sec speed), and I'm about to get it for less than US$200/month for 160KB/sec for business, and that includes an 8-port DSL router/modem leasing. This is in New York City.
I'm thinking about moving to EU (don't like guns and people suing each other here in the U.S.:)) and I'm wondering if I'd be able to get the same types of services there....
One reason why we had to purchase Alpha boxes + Tru64 for InfoJump was because Linux machines have the limit of 2 GB per file, which Alpha/Tru64 doesn't have. Yes, there are patches for Linux that take care of this problem to some extent, but they don't always work (we had to buy a binary, precompiled app and couldn't recompile it to support >2 GB files).
Does FreeBSD for Intel have the same 2 GB file limit like Linux does or does it allow >2 GB files? Anyone knows?

The hard part is persuading Apache team to include something like this in the Apache package....

How about DSL in Europe?
