[TriLUG] Slightly OT: Apache1.x Vs. Apache 2.x

[James Beidler]

I didn't think I was that far out of touch with the Linux distros!  Sorry,
I'm basing my statements on the work I did a few months ago so it may be
dated.  At the time, most of the distros that I encountered (RH, Mandrake,
Gentoo, etc.) were sticking with Apache 1, and SM was said only to be
compatibly with Apache 2 (which, as we both said, that statement is less
than true).
