I'm not sure what it has to do with linuxconf (don't use it, don't know what
it does) but the 10+ instances of httpd are typical of the way that httpd
runs.
I presume that you're using apache, but I imagine that other web servers
probably work in a similar way. In order to be highly available to all
comers, apache runs several "spare" instances of itself. There will be a
minimum number of spare instances (i.e. the number to run when there aren't
any users running sessions) and a maximum (so that it doesn't completely take
over your machine's resources if it goes haywire). I think the config files
for these things may have moved around lately, but on my machine the relevant
file is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
My guess is that either you used linuxconf to set up a web server, or this is
a coincidence and unrelated to linuxconf.
