Believe me, it is not a very time consuming job to configure and get 
Apache/OpenSSL/mod_ssl up and running. If an applications guy like me can do it ... 
and there are benefits, similar to those accruing from learning to drive a car with a 
standard transmission versus an automatic. As a bonus you always end up with the 
latest versions of the components. Strnghold is just a commercial repackaging - albeit 
a clean one - but you STILL have to configure.  Presently I oversee an older version 
of Stronghold as well as secure Apache. Neither has faltered. 

And ... in tribute to this group, the one problem I did have was related to the lack 
of a /dev/random device on my o/s. That was promptly diagnosed and a permanent fix 
provided by the author of prngd for which I remain grateful.

Balance about 2/3 hours of your time against the $1000+ for Stronghold. (In Canada 
with our Cretin Currency, thats more like $1600 and just not acceptable, so my 
decision was even easier when the second system required configuring!) Its your time 
and your money, I guess, but the alternative is not a scary one.
