because I don't want to spend 10 minutes in upgrading my php, I'd rather 
do it in 2 minutes with yum and I'm sure that the consistency of the 
rest of the system is kind of guaranteed.

full ack - it's a bit conceited and arrogant to say that my software 
requires 4.4 knowing that with that one major part of the world having 
an Enterprise OS installed may not use my product.

Anyways, I tried ez publish 3.9 on centos 4.4 with the current php 
(php-4.3.9-3.22) and it works though. AFAI can judge it, it works 
flawlessly. Has anybody got similar experience with that?
