-Apache is __~~the~~ __ WebServer for [Linux]. It also runs on most other OpenSource (and [not so open source|MicrosoftWindows]) [OperatingSystem]s. It started life as a heap of patches circulating for [NCSA]'s __httpd__ which was no longer maintained. Eventually, a group of developers collected all the patches and consolidated them into their own version of the web server - "A Patchy Server". Hence the name, "[Apache] Server".

Apache is one of the critical components of [LAMP] ([Linux]/[Apache]/[MySQL]/[PHP]).

; According to http://httpd.apache.org: : The Apache [HTTP] Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including [UNIX] and [WindowsNT]. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. %%% %%% Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The July 2003 [Netcraft] Web Server Survey found that 63% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.

-The Apache OpenSourceProject has many subprojects (which they confusingly call projects, but never mind), including: the Apache [HTTP] Server, the [Ant] build program, the [XML] project (which releases [Xerces] ~~and~~ [Xalan]) and the [PHP] ProgrammingLanguage.
