I completely agree, most of the new "webmasters" just run apache, and first
they do is run netscape on the same machine to see if apache is working... 
And I get questions like, "apache must be broken, netscape took 5 minutes to 
load my 8 mb machine...".   What I usually tell them is that they can just
telnet localhost 80  and do a get for /cgi-bin/test-cgi  to see if everything
is working.. that's I belive the easiest way to see what you have, and what's
working.
