Hi folks,
Is there anywhere an "SSL certificates for dummies?" I've been looking around

There are a nice set of IE/SSL bugs. If you thought the initial SSL
documentation wasinteresting,
Thats awesome that they are using Linux (And Debian at that!).
I just got a job at USOnet and they are exclusively a WindowsNT/2000 shop

"Better" is relative. :) I think it's pretty much six of one,
half-dozen of the other. I know _I_ use mod_ssl only because I was
piecing a lot of things together and mod_ssl allowed me to do that
