I have the spare machine - but finding time to set it up and and
re-learn 15 year old unix is proving difficult :(

The main problem is windows runs Apache2/PHP5 out of the box, so I have
not had to worry. The new version just goes on the 'eng' machine, and
once I've had a few days clear operation all the other machines get
switched.

I've had to drop a PHP4 back on as well because of the problems 4.4.0
has created with working legacy sites - *THAT* should have been killed
at birth and the lessons should be passed on to PHP6. Lets not have
THREE version of PHP on the go at once !!!!! Kill 4 before pushing 6 -
but actually I see nothing in 6 that can't be properly added to 5 ?
