BTW, maybe it's a bit off-topic, but here is one issue I've had, because I tweaked Apache 2 too much:
Did you always wonder the point of the 3 leading zeros in 000-Default? Now I know why.

When using virtual hosts, the default site has to be the first one Apache "sees". If you rename it, whenever the user tries to access a disabled-site, (with DNS still pointing to your box), well, what it does is: it will drop to the next file, alphabetically. VERY annoying.

Bottom line: keep the leading zeros. They come first alphabetically, and they have a good reason to exist.

And cheers for the article, didnt know of these scripts.
