“During my ‘Introduction to Apache Server’ talk at ApacheCon, I
talked about configuring your Apache compilation using the

“That’s configure with a lower case c,
and Configure with an upper case C, in
case you missed the distinction.”

“Well, I suppose there’s really no particular reason that I talk
about one over the other. Except that configure seems

advantages, and how to use it to make your life easier.”
