Lighttpd Debian package available in Etch
Lighttpd is a small and fast webserver developed with security in mind and a lot of features. Until recently Debian packages were available only in the unstable release, but now they have been included in Debian Etch (testing) and will most certainly make it to the next stable Debian release (etch is scheduled to be released in December).
Myself I have been using Lighty for a while, either compiled from sources or using the unstable debian package that worked very well for me without any special problems. Though I am using it only to serve static content (images mainly) and not use any other special features. In this case lighttpd outperforms apache in my experiences by far in performance (requests / second) and also resources utilizations (CPU and memory).
