Nothing beats the source install, if you screwup it takes seconds to revert to previous version and you know you are using just that version.
I do think we are getting off topic now, but my question stands (not that I use Debian on servers, I always believe in using non-butchering OS's, like Slackware, on *all* servers, critical and non critical)

Not to add to the hijack, but I hear ya brother. I've been trying to get a local HTTPd/bugzilla set up for the last two weeks. I tried using the Ubuntu/Debian packages and not only do they splay files (seemingly) wherever they feel like it, they change the names so that the online product doc is almost worthless. I love ubuntu and have great respect for the work the volunteers do, but I don't think this is their best effort.

Since I've been getting into the guts of Debian and Ubuntu over the last 2-3 years, I am finding a lot of 'non standard' things that drive me nuts when trying to solve a problem. I consider myself a fairly knowledgable Unix user/developer (at least, back in the bad old days) and some of the changes I've seen in the Debian/Ubuntu distros make me scratch my head and say Why? For example, their use of bin, and sbin, and root being acquired by 'sudo'.. Just curious...
