We've been using nginx on SLES11 for over a year now. IMHO it's a pretty amazing piece of software. Lighter (memory) than lighttpd and faster than apache. There's an active mailing list and a pretty good community of users. It requires libevent from
http://www.libevent.org ... another great package. I've recently started using the version of nginx bundled with OpenResty http://www.openresty.org/ which bundles nginx with a bunch of its useful modules. I'm using it for very fast response on queries that access memcached and redis. The build of OpenResty requires the pcre-dev, libopenssl-dev, and readline-dev from the SLES11 sdk dvd's. It also gives you the possiblity to write lua webservices which never hit the disk, or you can access mysql or postgresql without handing the query over to a fcgi process. I haven't tried that because and the mysql interface doesn't seem to have connection pools yet. The nginx fcgi interface works so well that we haven't really needed it.
