Your timing is off a bit when you speak of Linux and Apache. The Apache slide shows up when you are giving more details about Linux (0:51) and then there's a small glitch (0:59) as you are still speaking generally of LAMP. I would suggest showing the Apache slide at 1:07

At 3:48 you missed saying a "w" in the directory

The learning objective is precise in defining what a web server is and its components. However, to enhance practical understanding, it might be beneficial to incorporate specific examples or scenarios.

I'm having issues with my video editing tool on this one, it's all correct in the timeline view, but when I export the error happens. I've logged a support ticket and I'm waiting on feedback.
