Hi Kristian,

Deleting the line will result in Apache using the default value of 300
seconds for the timeout.  Generally a good idea to set this value to 0 (no
timeout), or to a too large value as it can tie up computing resources and
potentially lock out users from accessing the web server.  But in your case
where there is only a single user accessing the server it should be fine.
