Apache on Debian - high loads?

[George Karaolides <george.karaolides@linustech.com.cy>]

Hi all,

Does anyone have experience of running Apache on Debian successfully with
high loads?

I've been asked about the possibility of running a webserver with up to
five thousand concurrent users.  I would, of course, prefer to do it with
Apache on Debian.  Would Debian be up to the task?  Any pointers on
what I have to look out for?

Best regards,
