I don't recall any issues with apxs.  IIRC, there was a post recently about
a change that was needed involving apxs on the RaQ 3, but I don't recall
having to implement it on the RaQ 3 I installed 4.1.2 on a few days ago.
However, I did a lot of PHP installs last week so I could be wrong.  In any
case, when you install --with-apxs you are just generating a libphp4.so file
and later you're probably overwriting httpd.conf and php.ini so backup those
3 files and if PHP doesn't work when you restart Apache then copy those
files back to their original location.  No harm done.  I am planning on
installing 4.1.2 on another RaQ 3 tomorrow morning so I'll post here and let
you know if there's an apxs issue.  If you don't see an email from me on the
subject by Wednesday morning fire me an email through the contact form at
befriend.com (non-list emails to my mailing list address often don't get
read for days or weeks b/c they are assumed to be spam).

Take the right precautions and there is no reason to be nervous.  See above.

Warranty?  <g>  Nothing to worry about with the PHP install as far as
warranty goes.
