I can't find how this is licensed. Is it Free or just free? If anyone found a link to the license please let me know, as I am curious.

No need to look for the license. The story itself already says that it's free-as-in-beer, not Free-as-in-freedom.

Thanks Sander.

Somehow I don't think the Apache people are going to worry to much about this one.

Lighttpd is really nice when you want a small and capable HTTP server. There are a couple others that are also good which I forget at the moment, and they're all FOSS. I don't know why any Linux or Unix admins would want Abyss, though it might be a good alternative to *shudder* IIS for windows admins.

Abyss is dead simple to administer - have you seen their control console? Good tools, especially for dealing with certificates. I'm passively looking for something similar for Apache now, although webmin isn't too far off.

Quoting:Abyss is dead simple to administer


That's what I think of Apache. The only thing that'll get me banging my head against the wall are mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess files, because they apply recursively. But that's really more of a web developer issue than an Apache administration issue.
