    I would say there's a big likely hood, if for no other reason than the
    incentive - imagine Nimda or Code Red with double the amount of vulnerable
    servers.
    
    Just like we still have problems with unpatched IIS installations, we would
    also get a reoccuring problem with unpatched Apache installations. Some
    can't be easily upgraded, some are fresh installs from a just installed
    distro, etc.

    what would be the likely hood a cracker could turn this into a internet
    worm, and what would the possible destruction be?  I'm aware still over 50%
    of the webservers are running apache, but the diffrent distros might cause
    somewhat of a problem. would it not?
