We should make this an FAQ someplace... Hmmmm, perhaps when I find all
that free time I've been looking for!
To answer this question (again), however: The BlueOnyx distribution
uses CentOS 5 packages. If/when CentOS updates PHP (or any other
package), that will be included with BlueOnyx. CentOS will move to PHP
5.2 as soon as Red Hat moves RHEL5, since CentOS is designed to be 100%
compatible with RHEL.
Now, it may be possible to install php 5.2 using YUM by adding the
testing repo to your YUM config, but I have not tried this and would not
recommend trying this on a production system before you give it a good
test on a dev box.

Chris,
The reason why i asked was because php 5.2.3 is sat (and has been for
ages) in the Centos testing repository for ages now...
php-5.2.3-3.el5s2.i386.rpm
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/php-5.2.3-3.el5s2.i386.rpm"><http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/php-5.2.3-3.el5s2.i386.rpm></a>

Yes, thats Sept 2008. 17 months out of date!
I guess that it wouldnt be possible to set BO to update from the testing
repo and the UI still work, from whats been previously mentioned!
The daft thing about all of this is that i can go get a package from
Solarspeed for £45.50, however a years worth of hosting is less than
that for multiple sites!!
Sounds like i might as well trash my "small sites home server" and buy
some hosting instead, purely due to "current market rates"!

Yes it bites. We bit the bullet and paid the $71 US for the solarspeed
pkg yesterday. FYI: it installed without a hitch and the client is a
happy camper. I found a blog entry where a guy did the whole thing
manually but since I am new to both Blue* and this server owner I
decided that the $ was worth it to get it done quickly and not hose the
rest of the system.<br>
