2nd paragraphy

In this paragraph, the authors explain that Apache was born out of the NCSC web server, when NCSC stopped maintaining it. It was the NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications).

1st paragraph after the 2 sample codes

In the sample code, there are 2 lines changed, the "for" statement line
and the "printf" line. However, right after the second sample we read:

"The system would not that only one line had changed ...."

it should be:

"The system would not that only two lines had changed ...."

Another option is to change the sample to in fact change just 1 line of code.

Line between the two code snippets

"and one link needs to be changed to:"

should be:

"and one line needs to be changed to:"

Though as another reporter mentions, it should really refer to two lines changed.

1st paragraph, 4th line

Subversion is *NOT* an Apache project
We read:

"any authentication scheme that Apache does (Subversion is an Apache project), which
...."

It should be:

"any authentication scheme that Apache does, which ...."

Or it's posible Chris tried to say that Subversions take advantage or uses Apache APR
project. In any case please clarify the statement, because saying that Subversion is
an Apache project might be interpreted that Subversion belongs to Apache, which is
not true.
