Precisely.  Given his experience levels, installing httpd from source is
recipe for disaster.  He's now going to have to track security flaw
reports manually, try to figure out which ones apply to him, and keep
his apache up to date.  I can't think of anything he'd need in Apache
that's not in the CentOS packages.  I've sys-admined for years and I've
never ever needed an Apache outside out of the repos.  Sometimes I
needed other things I had to build from source, but never apache.
