Hey Ezra, what are your thoughts on Litespeed? I never hear anyone talking about it, but I've found it extremely easy to deploy Rails apps on it (though I've never done so with a high traffic site). Do you cover Litespeed in the book, at least as a comparison to others?

I like lightspeed but the free version is crippled and only usable for smallish sites. The real version costs a lot of money but is pretty nice. But it not being open source makes me personally cringe ;)

Lightspeed is nice for smaller sites because the processes can go away when there is no traffic. But I'm not a fan of it much and it's not covered in the book.

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to grabbing the book. :)
