Just use top in a term window to see if the http server is running. Shouldn't be too cluttered, generally speaking my Octane runs less than 50 processes; just checked my Linux box, which is running a kernel I configured myself to support only the exact hardware I've got on the system, and it's running 93. I did a Slackware 14.2 install on an Old IBM Netvista I had lying around, and booting to the default installation kernel it runs 118 processes, and that's from the login console with nothing X related running... :o
