Glad you find it useful.

Yeah it is bit long but there are a fair few things that you can change from the default 'out of the box' setup that is on most webservers (wooringly so givenmany places I have seen)

It is likely to get longer too I have a some more to add. And I was kind of hoping that others here might chip in useful titbits that they have for admin/performance so we could get a more compreshensive guide.
