  Once in a blue moon, I do, yes.

  That said, replace syslogd with syslog-ng, and replace apache2 with nginx.

  I just found easier to config apache2 than nginx in terms of php. I'm lazy, I will only serve files for myself. Just look at the ram used

  Don't configure nginx for php, use minstall

  Easiest way out holds no shame. Only a fool purposely takes an additional step for no reason.
