Well said re:Apache - I've been involved in some websites running as high as 20-25 million page views PER DAY using Apache .. it performs for my needs just as well as other solutions. It's only as bloated as people make it by adding dozens of modules they don't require. Start with a stock install and add only what needed - works great for me...

Apache is a great performer and you can get it to have a relatively small memory footprint if you throw out modules you don't need. I don't see a reason to install something from a different repository. I think all the people talking about apache being bloated and non-performing never even tried. If it's good enough for HEANET, then it's good enough for me.
