Brown> Better prices on dedicated servers: Intel 2.4GHz/60GB/512MB/2TB $49.99/mo. Intel 3.06GHz/80GB/1GB/2TB $59.99/mo. Dedicated servers, VPS, and hosting from $2.50/mo. ROFL I never thought someone seriously would go the whole way from dev, test and prod servers AND use all the version control stuff. Honestly: I use dev servers and two backup servers for our company website, but having a version control system and everything would, in my opinion, really make this whole being a developer some kind of ... ugh. Might be good to do, I don't know. Never tried, and probably never will. And being a "good IT professional" to me means: know what you're doing, and take the hits you get. Lost your data? Well, there is a hit to take. But pointing fingers has never helped anybody. 2 Cents from germany Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
