Software updates can easily and incrementally be pushed out to LAMP servers without requiring prolonged build and packaging processes. While this may lead to unorthodox and sometimes too lax of a process, when done correctly it makes the lives of the developers and the operations personnel much easier." I wouldn't say a jump from php4 to php5 is that nice! Redhat updates are pretty painless thankfully. We haven't updated our apache yet, so not sure how that will go - with V2.4 apache has graceful stop that is useful for us. “Another key advantage LAMP developers enjoy is the easy deployment paradigm.
