I’ve tried most of lightweight web servers, and nginx is truly amazing  
and my beloved webserver. Thus, I decided to profoundly study nginx to  
better understand it. The oldest version available for download is 0.5

I wonder if there is a repository to download earlier versions of  
nginx?

And is there a version working without installation? I mean very basic  
version that works just by running nginx in the terminal (I am looking  
for a very basic version with least features).

The [Index of /download/](http://nginx.org/download/) contains all tarballs ever  
released.
