Maybe its just my opinion but its not a god policy to run a production server with old software versions with KNOWN security flaws in them. +1 for Nginx,

In Lenny, we have nginx 0.6.32-3+lenny3 while the last stable nginx release is 0.7.64 : http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxInstall It's not difficult to compile nginx 0.7.64 from Squeeze, but it would be a lot better for us to just have a repository like we have for php5 and mysql. Many people are using nginx in combination with Apache. +1 for nginx.

It’s not difficult to compile nginx 0.7.64 from Squeeze, but it would be a lot better for us to just have a repository like we have for php5 and mysql.

Many people are using nginx in combination with Apache.

apache is less of a problem to me as its generally mostly bugfix updates rather than feature updates

not sure about lighttpd

Thanks for it. php5 is just a metapackage, you don't strictly have to install it. BTW, you can satisfy the dependency by installing php5-cgi instead of libapache2-mod-php5. @all : you're talking about maintaining more recent apache builds or including alternative webservers (nginx, lighttpd...). Except performance and ease of use in some situations, what are your arguments? Don't the regular Debian packages fit your needs? That would be a lot of work maintaining stable and performant new packages. I just want to know how good the reasons are. @Carlos : I read your great article. Thanks for it.

For me, Qmail is useless, postfix and a lot of it's mod is really great. For me a basic dedicated server have to run : apache2 php5 mysql postfix ntp munin-node. But after no one do the same stuff.
