Maybe we should write something in to check if apache is installed if we're so 
concerned about that usage... I already know that I set the connection limits 
lower on most of the installations I do (given than most installations are 
not production webservers).  There is also the argument to be made that just 
because systems these days have more memory doesn't mean we have to use it.
