This section contains notes and hints specific to installing
PHP on Linux distributions.
Using Packages
Many Linux distributions have some sort of package installation
system, such as RPM. This can assist in setting up a standard
configuration, but if you need to have a different set of features
(such as a secure server, or a different database driver), you may
need to build PHP and/or your webserver. If you are unfamiliar
with building and compiling your own software, it is worth
checking to see whether somebody has already built a packaged
version of PHP with the features you need.
