OpenSSH is fine on 5106R. CentOS keeps that old version patched and up
to date security wise. Same applies for PHP-5.1.6, although there are a
lot of web applications which might require you to run a more modern PHP.

For that purpose supported third party PHP packages (latest PHP-5.3 and
latest PHP-5.4) are available from this locations:

As for PHP-5.2.17: I wouldn't use that one. PHP-5.2 has been EOL'ed
quite some time ago.
