Personally I still keep it open to have a FreedomBox design without a 
web UI.  But I might be quite alone applying such odd principle.

Tempting, yes.

Benefit of apache2 is that most Debian packages tied to web already 
supports it.

Benefit of alternatives might be smaller footprint and faster execution.

Initially I will use apache2-mpm-worker due to failure in getting nginx 
or lighttpd to sensibly support content-negotiating - which is needed by 
jwchat which I've thrown in as a crude initial web app.

I will make it easy for developers to switch to other httpd 
implementations, though.

Therefore: fans of nginx, lighttpd, cherokee etc. please help provide 
content-negotiation config snippets for your favorite httpd, and I'll 
add it to the mix!
