As for how technical you need to be. I just finished setting up a couple of Windows 2000 Professional laptops with Apache 1.3 and CF 5, so that a few of our sales reps could take demos of our web sites on the road. Configuration of Apache was very straightforward. Never having seen an Apache config file before, and just going from the included example configuration file, it only took me an hour two to set up several dozen sites. Things like virtual name-based sites, virtual directories are dead simple to set up. One nice thing about working with a flat text file for configuration vs. a gui is that you don't have to remember "where" an option is set. It's all in front of you. I'm guessing Apache 2.0 throws a lot more variables and performance tuning option at an Administrator than 1.3 did. This is either good or bad, depending on your point of view.
