Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been on CentOS 6.x for a while. And before that it was 5.x... I support a Drupal install and CentOS just does not keep up very well. CenOS 6.x is running PHP 5.3 which is no longer supported. I understand RedHat maintained PHP during the O/S life cycle. At several points that was not enough.<br>
<br>
I'm pondering another distro that is a little more current and still stable. This is to run Drupal on. Any suggestions? I'm looking at Ubuntu as a potential distro.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance and I am not trying to start a flame war.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
