Each Apache Multi-Processing Module provides a different "flavor" of web server binary, compiled with a different processing model.

The worker MPM provides the default threaded implementation. It is recommended especially for high-traffic sites because it is faster and has a smaller memory footprint than the traditional prefork MPM.

Apache development headers - non-threaded MPM

This package provides the development headers and apxs2 binary for apache2-mpm-prefork; see the apache2 package description for more details.

This should only be used when you absolutely *must* support a non-threaded environment (for PHP, for example).

Apache development headers - threaded MPM

This package provides the development headers and apxs2 binary for threaded versions of apache2; see the apache2 package description for more details.

utility programs for webservers

Apache HTTP Server common files

The Apache Software Foundation's goal is to build a secure, efficient and extensible HTTP server as standards-compliant open source software. The result has long been the number one web server on the Internet.

Ubuntu applications (data files)

User-space parser utility for AppArmor

Utilities for controlling AppArmor

automatically generate crash reports for debugging

GTK+ frontend for the apport crash report system

This package provides a GTK+ frontend for browsing and handling the crash reports.

tools for reprocessing Apport crash reports

package change history notification tool

The tool apt-listchanges can compare a new version of a package with the one currently installed and show what has been changed, by extracting the relevant entries from the Debian changelog and NEWS files.

It can be run on several .deb archives at a time to get a list of all changes that would be caused by installing or upgrading a group of packages. When configured as an APT plugin it will do this automatically during upgrades.

terminal-based package manager

aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken.

Debug symbols for the aptitude package manager

This package contains the debugging symbols for aptitude. You only need these if you want to generate debugging backtraces of aptitude; if you do, you probably also want the debug package for the cwidget library.

English manual for aptitude, a terminal-based package manager

AptUrl is a simple graphical application that takes an URL (which follows the apt-protocol) as a command line option, parses it and carries out the operations that the URL describes (that is, it asks the user if he wants the indicated packages to be installed and if the answer is positive does so for him).

Highly configurable text format for writing documentation

AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing articles, books, manuals and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc files can be translated to HTML (with or without stylesheets), DocBook (articles, books and refentry documents) and LinuxDoc using the asciidoc command. AsciiDoc can also be used to build and maintain websites.

You write an AsciiDoc document the same way you would write a normal text document, there are no markup tags or weird format notations. AsciiDoc files are designed to be viewed, edited and printed directly or translated to other presentation formats

GNU Aspell spell-checker

GNU Aspell is a spell-checker which can be used either as a standalone application or embedded in other programs. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of suggesting possible spellings than just about any other spell-checker available for the English language, including Ispell and Microsoft Word. It also has many other technical enhancements over Ispell such as using shared memory for dictionaries and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once.

Aspell is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Ispell.

Documentation for GNU Aspell spell-checker

This package contains the documentation for GNU Aspell in various formats. The aspell package comes with minimal man pages. Install this package if you need further information on the development process and workings of Aspell.

English dictionary for GNU Aspell

This package contains all the required files to add support for English language to the GNU Aspell spell checker.

American, British and Canadian spellings are included.

Delayed job execution and batch processing

At and batch read shell commands from standard input storing them as a job to be scheduled for execution in the future.

Use at to run the job at a specified time batch to run the job when system load levels permit

Utilities for manipulating filesystem extended attributes

A set of tools for manipulating extended attributes on filesystem objects, in particular getfattr(1) and setfattr(1). An attr(1) command is also provided which is largely compatible with the SGI IRIX tool of the same name.

apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
