tlug: Apache httpd?

[YAMAGATA Hiroo <hiyori13@example.com>]

I started to play with Apache today, and it works fine, except that when I 
do "ps -aux", I see that there are 11 httpd's running.

I thought this was too much, so I "kill -9"ed a bunch of them, but then it 
started acting strange, like not displaying some pictures.

So, is the 11 httpds correct? But why so many? I looked at the docs but 
didn't quite figure out where too read...

Nothing important, but I'd appreciate it if someone could explain it for me.

Best,
