Not really. Sun is an overkill for web servers. Netscape won't startup
with an fpclose error if you make a slight mistake.
The httpd server in IBM's Websphere products is a modified Apache, version
1.3.6.2. I do agree that except for little quirks, Netscape is more stable
than Apache. But Apache, like any other popular open-source software, is
evolving fast with new features and functionalities.
