Damn straight. It's small, it's simple, it's easy to set up, it's
secure. It's single-threaded (using select to manage multiple
connections) which means its hugely scalable; it'll keep serving in
situations where Apache will give up and die, and it'll still have a
tiny footprint. It supports a bunch of nifty features such as bandwidth
throttling based on file type.

(It does have a few problems when it comes to serving custom MIME types
--- it's extension-to-MIME-type table is hard coded --- but you'll
probably not come afoul of that.)

Incidentally, talking of web servers, does anyone know where I can find
a decent Zope CMF tutorial?
