Most secure web server

Hi!

Does anyone have any advice in choosing the most secure web server
possible? Apache is often used, but has many features which are not
needed. Being heavy-weight is more likely to introduce exploits. What
do you think of any alternatives to apache or am I wrong to think this
about Apache?

Thanks!
Geoff
