Oh! Great news! I've been monitoring sugar-dev and olpc-dev for
discussion on the server too. Jim said discussion would happen around
here...
(damn! I see discussion is taking place in the wiki - heh, I'll have
to somehow track that...)

School server development is *just now* beginning to ramp up, and so
such things are still in the air. I wouldn't be surprised if a
non-apache server was used (something in python, or just lighterweight
in general), but the server would be sufficiently powerful to run
Apache if they want its featureset.
I am not too fussed about apache, but probably having a more complete
packaging system (IOWs leave the rpm database there, and provide means
for package installation), and probably supporting non-python
software.
I am coming from the Moodle (and other web-based learning tools) POV.
Sadly, the range of existing software in this area in python is poor,
most of the interesting activity is in the PHP space.
cheers,.
