Oh, I'm well aware of the OSU server, and I'm quite fond of it. Even wrote
some addon methods for it so AOLPress could browse and publish to the
thing (http://www.sidhe.org/misc/AOLPresspack-1_0.zip for the curious).
I'll probably run it at home as my primary webserver when I get a VMS box
up and running, too.

However, at the office here we're trying to stick with cross-platform
standard servers, so we'll be putting Apache into production use as soon
as it's stable (or we beat it into submission, whichever comes first :).
At least it beats having to run FastTrack. (ick)

my job description, if Compaq doesn't beat me to it)
