Understood. Sorry to have touched a nerve.

You're not the first to recommend back-rev'ing Apache. Perhaps I'll look into it a little more. (I kinda miss being able to stream my MP3's). I'm just not sure what, in total, I'd have to remove and re-install. Will just uninstalling httpd-2.0.40-8 and httpd-manual-2.0.40-8 be sufficient, or should I be concerned about other packages, too? I've got a fairly new postnuke site that I just got working and would prefer not to f*** that up...

Anyway, I digress.
I'll not bother the list with talk of Apache 2.0 in the future ;-)
