Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits.  The ISOs are off to the replicator.  This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy!  -P.

+WARNING
+
+This script builds a package that conflicts with apache1.  Before
+attempting to install this package, you should uninstall any of
+these packages that you find on your system:
+
+apache
+mod_ssl
+php
+
+Really though, the only points of overlap are in /usr/sbin, so if you
+leave your old packages in place apache2 will still work, but the
+apache1 httpd will have been overwritten (along with other files)
+
+Apache is the most popular web server in the known universe; over half
+the servers on the Internet are running Apache or one of its variants.
+
+By default, we build apache2 with the traditional "apache prefork" multi
+processing module (MPM).  This is somewhat safer for the use of mod_php,
+but can still carry some security risks (all your php scripts run as the
+user configured to run apache2).
+
+For enhanced multi-threaded performance, use "apache worker", but using
+mod_php with "worker" is considered dangerous.  PHP Core is multi-thread
+safe, but many PHP extensions are *NOT*.  To build apache2 with the
+worker MPM, change the option to:  --with-mpm=worker
+
+Please note that this script does not build apache2 with SuEXEC support.
+The Apache group feels SuEXEC should not be part of a default install.
+If you need this functionality, please read the following documentation
+and make the necessary changes to the ./configure options in the script.
