Slackware 14.0slackware-14.0

Wed Sep 26 01:10:42 UTC 2012
Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!

We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing.  But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a
dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.  The Slackware team, the
upstream developers, and (of course) the awesome Slackware user
community.

Have fun!  :-)

-# "prefork" is the default, safe, mpm type.  If you *are not* using PHP, and you
-# like to live on the bleeding edge, you may wish to change the --with-mpm option
-# to "worker", which is the new way of doing things, but is multithreaded and
-# many scripts (especially PHP ones) are not multithread safe.
+# A brief note about mpms:
 #
-# I'd leave this option the way is it on any production box that's keeping up
-# with HTTP requests.  No reason to chance it, IMHO.
+# "prefork" is the legacy forked mpm, used with mod_php. Starting with httpd 
+# 2.4.0, new threaded mpms are available, and previously experimental mpms are
+# now stable
+#
+# Non-threaded mpms are no longer required, since php applications can now be
+# deployed with the help of mod_fcgid, essentially a set of fixed dedicated cgi
+# processes spawned for the whole purpose of executing dynamic applications
+#
+# Threaded mpms, by their very nature, are far more scalable than the
+# traditional preforking solution. They consume less memory for the same
+# workload, when serving the same amount of clients. httpd 2.4 ships with two
+# options, "event" and "worker", where the former is the default mpm used if
+# none is specified at the ./configure line
+#
+# Lastly, the "prefork" mpm can be used with mod_php as of version 5.4.0,
+# which yields a much improved stability, even with most mod_php extensions
+# loaded.
+#
+# The running mpm can be changed by simply loading the module. Here is a sample:
+# LoadModule mpm_event_module lib(64)/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_event.so
+#
+# When upgrading from 2.2, please make sure to stop the deamon first, or your
+# new instance may segfault.
