OT: Apache Version Used

[Brad Bartram]

Pretty much.

There isn't a major difference between 2 and 1, it's mostly in the "under the

anything mission critical, then use what you have.  If you start dealing with 
more important web-based apps, then worry about the stability factor that I 
talked about before.
