BTW, the new 10.2.4 update adds new modules to the built in Apache
Webserver (such as Mod Rendezvous -- very nicely done actually). So it
changes the httpd.conf file to relfect this, but don't worry as it
makes a backup of the old one, so that you can restore access to the
other modules that you added). Oddly enough, Apache is still at version
1.2.37 rather than the newer 2.0.44. Unfortunately, no auto-run repair
permissions in the installer yet.

I was surprised to find out how close it comes to Kentucky.
