TUX (assuming that it doesn't kill the machine every few days) is
absolutely perfect for running on its own without the need for Apache (or
any other bloated server) running in the background for this kind of
purpose.

And to echo what Alex says above, if the setup is stable for around 14
days or so, I'd suspect that it'll remain stable for the forseeable
future.  My first hang was within 6 hours of setting TUX live - and then
there was a gap of 6 days (or so) - after which it averaged out at around
3-5 days of uptime between freezes.
