Thanks for the advice Rob > Why? The Debian versions of apache and php include all known security > fixes, and pretty much all available modules.

There are some issues with the way this version handles certain things that I can't live with really so I prefer to use latest version of Php. If I could manage with 4.1.1 then I would. Cyril
