What Digg does to Servers [1016% Server Load!]

This is a screenshot of the output from running the Top command on my CentOS box before it completely crashed due to the traffic from an article that made it to the homepage.

The httpd.conf file had been misconfigured and was allowing far too many apache processes to spawn which ate up all the memory so the box switched to Swap memory (kswapd).
