6:45 PM EST 		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.

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

6:45 AM EST 		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.

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.
