Point taken...

Oki, changed to this, should be nice enough (?)...

<body>
<h1>Welcome to Your New Home Page!</h1>
<!-- Most of the text is stolen from the Apache package -->
<p>This is the default web page installed by the Debian package of the Roxen web server.
It is the responsibility of the administrator of the machine to replace it with
a local page.
<p><strong>If you encounter this page when you were expecting some other content, you
should report it to the administrator of the machine.</strong> Please note that
this machine is not affiliated with Debian. Debian is software installed on the
machine. Do not report problems with this site to Debian.
<p>Debian is a free operating system for your computer.
See our <a href="http://www.debian.org/";> web page</a> for more information.
Information about the Roxen web server can be found on
<a href="http://www.roxen.com/";>their home page</a>.
For information and downloading The Debian package of Roxen please take a look at the
<a href="http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/web/roxen.html";>Roxen package page</a>.
Unless you changed its configuration, the server is configured as follows:<p>
<ul>
<li> Configuration files can be found in /etc/roxen .
<li> The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all your HTML files should exist, is set to /var/www.
<li> CGI scripts are looked for in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, which is where Debian packages will place their scripts.
<li> Log files are placed in /var/log/roxen, and will be rotated daily.
<li> The default directory index is index.html, meaning that requests for a directory /foo/bar/ will give the contents of
the file /var/www/foo/bar/index.html if it exists (assuming that /var/www is your DocumentRoot).
<li> User directories are enabled, and user documents will be looked for in the public_html directory of the users' homes.
</ul>
