the first thing I do when I setup a web server is disable any place that 
advertizes what OS and what version it is running. call it security by 
obscurity if you like, but I see no reason to provide information that 
is not necessary to run the service.

it is also a good practice to setup your own error pages, and make them 
more "useful":
