I wanted to amplify with use cases that run more than one app on the same
server.   My experience is that getting two *Rails* apps to play nicely in
the same environment is a pain.  But certainly easier than getting Mongrel
to run PHP.  With Passenger I can run Rails alongside PHP, and serve static
content far more efficiently.  (nginx is on my saw-sharpening list...)
