I can't tell you how many times I get a web developer who has developed some site in PHP on the latest Ubuntu Ornery Orangatan or Pliable Platypus, or whatever the latest Ubuntu release of the minute is, with every PHP option installed and the latest bleeding edge version. They try to get it to run on one of our SLES 11 or RHEL 6 servers, and it won't... they don't understand that I can't just "upgrade to PHP 5.4.x"...yeah...5.3 with backported security updates is currently supported on this release - don't like it? Take a hike. Oh, and giving them dev space on a server with the same patch level doesn't help, because they can't possibly work within the confines of THAT old environment.<br>
The fact that so many web people think developing on a bleeding-edge workstation distro is a sane idea just throws fuel on the fire of my dislike for Ubuntu.<br>
