apache with fcgid

Once, I used gentoo with apache(worker) + phpmod as a webserver. After switching to ubuntu, I've found that phpmod is not stable with apache(worker), this is not a problem with gentoo b'coz u can customize everything by yourself.

Up to this point ,there are 2 choice for ubuntu apache works with php
1) use apache prefork + phpmod
2) use apache worker + cgi + php

I found the following study show that fcgid might be a good choice. And, it is.
