      Already in the works, Apache under Linux, however it's a long and
somewhat painful process to migrate the system from OS/2 to Linux.  However, I 
wasn't aware that Apache for OS/2 is being kept current.

      The configs are text files (except for password storage), but you must
use a webbrowser to access the admin section on the website.

      Relatively static pages, no cgi's (limited support for cgi under
powerweb, it prefers that you use it's own proprietary api's instead), plus 
mail (smtp/pop3), and ftp.  It's sorta an 'all-in-one' package, so to speak.
