Re: MySQL and PHP - What are you using?

Concur with recommendation to stick with Red Hat's packages unless there 
is some specific need not being met.  It makes life much easier in terms 
of updates, support, etc.

That said, if you do need third party packages, a good source is 
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ .  I'm sure there are others.

You might also checks some of the RHEL-rebuild projects (White Box, Tao, 
etc.) to see if they have additional packages, which should usually be 
compatible with RHEL.
