Hm - 9.0.4 kinda enforces you to use Wallet Manager, so all comment above about Apache is void.
Did not like it at all; as it did not work for me. As easy as it was for 1.0.2.2 and 2.x (once you got the wrinkles worked out), as buggy as it seems now.
Overall ease of install and stability of 904 seems better, but SSL implementation is V1.0 beta.
Just my 2c.
