Brother, try getting the Apache 1.3 legacy cruft from Debian developers who refuse to update because "it isn't broken", even when it patently *IS* but they're not noticing it, and getting Apache 1.3 running on RHEL 4 or RHEL 5. Then try hooking Subversion to it as a service becuase "gee, I can compile it, why can't you?" Ha. Ha-ha. H-aha-ha-hah-HA-HA-BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-boo-hoo-(whimper). OK, I'm better now.
