Distro to run Drupal on

[Keith Smith]

Drupal 8 will require PHP 5.4.5  CentOS 7 comes with PHP 5.4.  CentOS 6 
is running PHP 5.3.3  I need a couple packages that are not available in 
CentOS 6.6 such as Memcached 3.06. version 3.05 is the lasted on.  I'm 
going to look into that repository the other gentleman suggested to see 
if that resolves my issues.

flame war : an argument between Internet users who repeatedly provoke 
each other with personal attacks through e-mail and other forms of 
online communication.
