 You are correct, opionions vary.  But you indicated a preference for
rpms?  Why not consider the Rh7.2?

Right here!  This list has terrific support and a huge archive that you
can search for problems/fixes.
Another good place to check:  linuxvm.org

php-4.0.6-7, apache-1.3.20-16 and mysql-3.23.41-1a all come with the
RH7.2 package.
I think my biggest problem was just trying to download the RH7.2 tree
right after RH released 7.3!  Talk about a busy site.

Good luck and best regards,
Paul
