I'm not sure this is that important but we should still try and "keep" the title of best distribution:
The default apache access.conf contains these lines Options Indexes FollowSymLinks All # This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can # override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo", # "AuthConfig", and "Limit" AllowOverride None But, http://www.apache.org/docs-1.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride states that the options are actualy: AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options Can the apache maintainer put this in. What happens is DirectoryIndexes are not allowed in .htaccess files w/o the AllowOverride Indexes directive. This deals with bug #56825
