I hope I understand your intentions, but this is not the first options for the 
metaport, heh? ;-)

My main concern is that many my colleagues work on desktop systems which they

apache 1.3.  From the last upgrade the only way to achieve it on a single 
machine is to split Gnome and apache to separate jails...
