Thanks for everyone's input, they are much appreciated!
After some weeks of research, the only thing that'll be on the server is Zope, Plone, Squid, Pound, and some security checks e.g. rkhunter, etc. I'm guessing that using their latest stable releases from their website wouldn't cause any hiccups with Debian...?

From a security point of view (usually the reason why I install a debian package) zope is very good (plone also) at getting out any security fixes and they are also easy to install. Installing from debian package/src tarball won't change how this works both are the same.
What would be the worst case scenario having running Zope off src rather than debian packages? Would there be any attempt whatsoever on cracking particularly through Zope?
So it depends on how vital it is for you to have the most up to date stuff. Also keep in mind its very easy to switch, in fact since we switched from debian package to zope src tarball we have kept a couple of the debian bits such as init.d scripts and setup as they work very well.
Sounds good! I should take a look at debian packages just to see what I can use. I haven't played around much, but I always have this thought that newer versions can mean more stable application, though not necessarily the case. As long as its a stable release, wouldn't it be wise to install that latest version? Kwang
