When running a web server on Linux do you recommend installing applications like php and apache via source or RPM? I understand RPM is easier upfront and to upgrade, but you dont have the flexibility you do with running from source. Is this more of a personal preference or is there real reason to go one way or another? I myself have done both, but mainly stuck with RPM's because it simply was easier. The objective here is to allow me the ability to add new features or upgrade down the road to existing apps without complications.
