Just as something to think about - the file you were looking for in the
"How to find out what packages are available?" thread
(  /etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties )  I found in about 10
seconds, using one command.

Think of it this way: invest some time learning the basics of command line
and apt now, and the time and frustration involved in most tasks will be
greatly lessened for you in the future.

Much quicker to type "apt-file search foo" than to click your way through
menus in a GUI and look for the right apps and options etc.
