Upgrade to PHP 4.2.3 or higher

I currently use a Woody distrib as a web server. It's been very stable for me for a couple of years and I don't really want to dist-upgrade. Testing dist-upgrade with other testing servers mirroring this server has given less than desirable results. I would however like to upgrade to a higher ver

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me. Our system's time has been off by about 30 minutes for the last month or so. When I run ntpdate and set the time we would get some wierd things happening on the system (i.e. Service unavailable in apache, etc.) I would have to move the
