Distro to run Drupal on

[Michael Torres]

Wow!  Are you really updating that much PHP code to out pace 5.3?  I am a
bit confused though.......what exactly do you need?  Do you need a specific
version of PHP?  or do you want the latest and greatest linux server to run
an older version of php?

If a latest and greatest distro of linux supports the latest version of PHP
(lets say 5.5)  but your code currently only runs on 5.3 or 5.4, just
manually install the version of PHP that your application runs on ( 5.3 or
5.4).  You can still get updates for that php version from the repo's

Locally on my PC  i have Fedora and I I have PHP 5.5 running.....

At work on my work PC I have PHP 5.4 running for development

On our servers  we both 5.3 and 5.4 versions pf PHP running....

I use the eclipse IDE for development and if I need to develop for a
specific version of PHP, I just change the properties in eclipse and the
PDT plugin knows what is available for that version.

not sure what a flame war is..somebody enlighten me please!
