downloaded JK binaries for Linux - which to use? workers or prefork?



yes -- but what is the difference?  i'm running Fedora Core 3 on a single
processor Linux box, running Apache 2.x

what does prefork mean? vs. worker?

thanks,
Kim :-)

The name depends on which MPM your Apache is compiled with. Most
likely it's the prefork MPM as that is default, but could be the
worker MPM.
