Debian == Deviant? Maybe??
I don't think that aolserver does virtual, but it's been a LONG time since
I've looked the docs over. At least, it wasn't able to do name-based virtual
hosting, but you could put multiple servers on the same machine, if you had
aliasable (wordcheck) ip addresses available.

Just what are you trying to say here? :-) On Debian, apache is the default
web server if you choose to have a webserver installed.

As to whether to go to aolserver or mod-aolserver on apache, I wouldn't be
against trying out aolserver, though my first read-through of the
instructions left me with more questions than I had the first time with
apache.  I haven't figured out how to do virtual hosting on aolserver, which
probably isn't a problem for Aclug, but would be for me to consider it for
my uses.  Mod-aolserver incurs a performance hit, the question is how big is
it, and would we notice it for our uses?
