Didn't Get Dugg To Death
Don't take this as an invitation to attempt to Digg me to death. I'm happy to say that in the middle of having a front page Digg post, my server load was nil.
Here is my top report at around 1:34PM today with about 200 active connections and my access log growing like crazy.
top - 14:28:15 up 192 days, 8:43, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

I attest most of the success to lightTPD, an excellent lightweight web server.
