Well, so let's start with the list of current default modules to have a discussion base. These are: mod_access mod_auth mod_actions mod_cgi/mod_cgid mod_alias mod_dir mod_userdir mod_asis mod_autoindex mod_env mod_setenvif mod_imap mod_include mod_log_config mod_mime mod_negotiation mod_status I suggest to remove from default: mod_userdir, mod_asis, mod_imap and mod_status I'm not sure about mod_userdir. It's used, yes, but it need not be default. I think of mod_userdir as an additional feature. Most users don't know what to do with mod_asis or how to read mod_status. The only active installation of mod_status I've ever seen, has been at beginners first servers. Also mod_asis. I use it myself, but this need not be a default module. Those, who need it and know whow to use it, will be able to install the module. And I would add: mod_logio and mod_expire I also would like mod_deflate to become default, but there are much problems with older browsers, so I'm not sure, it would be a good idea. Kess
