My vote : Full: [ ] - Apache HTTP Server Abbreviated: [ ] - httpd Please no HTTPD, I think it's really confusing. On the other hand, "Apache httpd" is the same as "httpd" since httpd is a part of Apache. It's like "Irish Guinness" (but, this is another topic ;-)) Lucien --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
