In general, you should always go with the package unless you need a more recent version for some reason. Using the version that's packaged for your distribution means that it will upgrade automatically (including security updates), you'll be sure it's using the right version of shared libraries, and it's much easier to install and remove.
The version of nginx in ubuntu feisty is 0.4.13 ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/web/nginx ) and the most recent version of nginx is 0.5.30. If 0.4.13 is good enough for you then I'd use that. Check the changelog ( http://nginx.net/CHANGES-0.5 ) BTW, I'd recommend using aptitude instead of apt-get, it handles dependencies better. Paul On 8/11/07, D.
