was just wondering, before Apache, what webserver was most popular? 

I'm not sure if I'm imagining things, but I vaguely recall getting my 
first ISP account with web browsing via a telnet interface and lynx in '95.
heh.. no javascript pop up windows or spamming back then..

Apache 2.0.28 Released as Beta
------------------------------
 
The Apache Group is proud to announce the twenty-eighth release
of Apache 2.0.  This is the second public beta of Apache 2.0.
This release has been tested thoroughly and has been running the
apache.org web site since Nov. 9, 2001.
 
Apache 2.0 offers numerous enhancements, improvements and performance
boosts over the 1.3 code base.  The most visible and noteworthy addition
is the ability to run Apache in a hybrid thread/process mode on any
platform that supports both threads and processes.  This has been shown
to improve the scalability of the Apache HTTPD server significantly on
some versions of Unix in our testing.  Apache 2.0 also includes support
for filtered I/O.  This allows modules to modify the output of other
modules before it is sent to the client.  Finally, we have included
support for IPv6 on any platform that supports IPv6.
 
This version of Apache is known to work on many versions of Unix, BeOS,
OS/2, and Windows.  Because of many of the advancements in Apache 2.0,
this release of Apache is expected to perform equally well on all
supported platforms.

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since
April of 1996. The October 2001 WWW server site survey by Netcraft
(http://www.netcraft.com/survey/) found that more web servers were
using Apache than any other software running on more than 56% of the
Internet web servers.
 
You can download Apache 2.0.28 from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/.
