I don't see why you shouldn't compile from source. In fact, with GenToo, that's pretty much all one can do. With CentOS, they've simply provided binaries that are part of RedHat Enterprise Linux source RPMs. You can always download the source RPMs and do an "rpmbuild", but with adding your own CFLAGS, etc.

But if you want to go purely source, I don't see a problem with it. It would be the easier way of customizing the config file the way you like it. You can copy the config.status file from Solaris and then on linux, do a "./configure -r" I think.

The axps thing is tricky -- you have to compile Apache and THEN install it and THEN compile the modules and support programs (like PHP, MySQL, etc). To see what came with Apache as a binary, run "httpd -l", and "httpd -V".
