Yes I read the page. I suppose that they mean 'the last point release' when they refer to 'certain popular releases'. So why not just say it and allay peoples fears (real or imagined)? I'm pretty sure that it would correspond to the real-life situation anyway. I don't think anyone expects Red Hat to support versions for as long as they supported 5.2, for example. But two years for the last point release would be reasonable. > BTW, what doesn't work for you wrt php and apache2? Various things like turning on safe_mode, not to mention trying to have different php security settings for different virtual hosts. If you take the php source rpm and build it, you will see clearly in the output that the PHPistas do not recommend that version of PHP with apache2. cheers, denice -- denice.deatrich @ epfl.ch, DSC / LTHC-LTHI, E.P.F.L.
