How many Linux distros ship httpd 2.4? Fedora 18 is their first release to include httpd 2.4. Since Fedora is often an early adopter of new releases, I expect 2.4 hasn't trickled down to other distributions yet, e.g. RHEL, CentOS.
It looks like 2.4 has only got as for as Debian experimental: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=apache Ubuntu haven't adopted it yet: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apache Of course the next question could be why have distros not adopted 2.4, is it just a matter of time or are there other factors? >________________________________ > From: Kevin A.
