Check out thttpd at www.acme.com/software/thttpd. Its "simple, small, portable, fast, and secure". The small part is interesting. Not small enough to fit on the boot floppy, but much smaller than anything else I've seen. For some comparisons: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/notes.html#sizes And once it's compiled, it is pretty darn small: spork@oozing [~]$ ls -al /usr/local/sbin/thttpd -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 53434 Feb 13 01:10 /usr/local/sbin/thttpd At the very least it is a cool little simple webserver for a home workstation where you just want something simple. The bandwidth throttling is nice too... BTW, despite the name, everything at acme.com is free.
