Hi Tong, Lighttpd was designed from the ground up for such static file serving. As the name implies it is a lightweight httpd server. Today Lighty also supports CGI and has many other advanced features that the original release did not, but it hasn't sacrificed speed, nor become bloated. I just checked one of my systems and top reports the running code size of Lighttpd 1.4.28-2+squeeze1 is 164KB. Not quite as small as what you claim for thttpd, but the code size of an httpd process is but a tiny fraction of process' memory footprint. In my case RES is currently 2112KB. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
