Apache Executables for Unix
The fairly painless business of compiling Apache, which is described later, can now be circumvented by downloading a precompiled binary for the Unix of your choice. When we went to press, the following operating systems (mostly versions of Unix) were suported, but check before you decide. (See http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries.)

Although this route is easier, you do forfeit the opportunity to configure the modules of your Apache, and you lose the chance to carry out quite a complex Unix operation, which is in itself interesting and confidence-inspiring if you are not very familiar with this operating system.
