Actually, I was just thinking of doing #2 on the dev server (no dev
going on, but I had this set up some time ago when we moved the
production server to linode, so now at least I can test things without
breaking the production system), and if it breaks, just downgrade back
to 5.3...
That assumes, of course...
Is php difficult to downgrade after an upgrade?
Thx Alan...
