Hi there,

Downloading apache is no problem at all, no matter what os. It's not 
a really big download either. Just saunter over to 
http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/ and download source for 1.3.19 or 
1.3.20 (latest).

Untar, check out the README files, ./configure, make and make 
install; that's all there is to it, your set to go!

Although I think its more fun to roll your own, there is a binaries 
directory too, where most oss are represented. Just name your poison.

However, if you're running a particular linux or bsd distribution, 
look for the apache package, deb, rpm on your os vendor's website. 
It's probably less painful that way.

Enjoy ...
