performance, change, and the lack of nl2br()

For me, one problem is performance (guess Xaraya was never really designed for that load), and another one was change from old linux.com as it was.

Regarding speed, I'd suggest sticking <a href="http://nginx.net/">nginx</a> frontend web server to spare RAM and free up backend apaches to actually run CMS. Probably it's way too late to suggest not considering *Nuke clones at all and having a look at real CMS like <a href="http://typo3.com/">TYPO3</a> -- but we did drop PHPNuke and PostNuke in favour of that one (runner-up was Drupal, Java-based weren't considered for practical reasons) and I'd heartily recommend that if you [will have to] reconsider some day. Can also try to help with tuning these.

Regarding changes -- people don't usually welcome these by default; running to and fro with single sign on seems to have had decent impact on anonymous posting share.

Ah, and nl2br on comments would be really appreciated as mentioned probably daily.
