yes yes yes I know all this, but the problem is that the apache server 1.3.9
that is with debian 2.2 doesn't show the hebrew (or russian for that matter)
pages correctly, and it annoies me that I had to compile and install a later
version in order to fix this problem, which sort of blows out the air of the
wonderful "apt-get".
So I should have asked the question differently, eg. why the (danm) binary
version of apache that comes with debian doesn't show the pages correct,
even though they have the correct meta tags and apache is configured
correctly and so on.
