In addition to the above - portability.  I just finished a complete a servlet
solution for a BIG company on my dinky pentium 75 linux laptop (apache/jrun).  The
installation on their site (Solaris/NES/JRun Pro) was MINIMAL with no
environment/configuration changes except for the addition of the path to the new

configuration file.
