So, because Cygwin is associated with Red > Hat, why not standardise on that? (Personally I like /etc/apache, > /var/www best, because that's what Debian does :-) Yep :]. OpenBSD also does this. IMO it's the best way for apache because a) /var is appropriate for user modified data files for applications, and b) www is easily associated with apache, AND can be reused if apache is removed and (pick favorite alternative) installed. c) /etc/apache is nicely contained for the plethora of files apache used to have, (and with SSL can have) yet is clearly configuration data. Corinna's standard configure line as quoted in http://www.cygwin/com/setup.html probably does most of this automatically. I'd also like to suggest that the home page in the package be altered to say what platform its running on (if it doesn't already :}). Rob
