I had a registered version of Netscape Server, that came with the old Caldera Distro, which set up like a dream. Apache still doesn't come close to the simplistic and intelligent design that Netscape put into their html server project. It had a well-designed gui that you could use to admin your site from anywhere. Click a couple of buttons, restart, it worked without a stack of documents to read for weeks. It's a damn wonder FDS is not installed by default.
