The teams I've worked on have all managed their own local development stacks. That said, I also have some colleagues and friends who work on teams that use VM environments, and swear by it. The nice part of having a VM environment is that one person can be tasked with its creation and documentation, and then each person simply grabs an image and uses it. In the end, however, they still need to push code to it, and each person's VM image will vary after time. > On 8/6/2010 2:23 PM, Matthew Weier O'Phinney wrote: > >-- Paul<z...@zooluserver.com> wrote > >(on Friday, 06 August 2010, 12:15 PM -0400): > ><snip> > >>Can you run two instances of Zend Server CE, one w/ php5.2 the other with > >>php5.3? > ></snip> > > > >Yes.
