Zend Core

While they try to sell you support (where you basically pay them to do it), this looks like a better way to do PHP distribution. The product is free, btw. Support is what you pay for if you elect to do so.

Not sure if this is outside the ART scope or not but might be worth a look.

sounds interesting - anyone know how their stack differs from the art packages or anyone else for that matter ?

From what I can gather, Core is simply a different distribution method. Their sales pitch is "Let us upgrade your PHP" and it's aimed at admins who don't have time for such things. Core , in theory, gets the latest compiles quickly. With ART, you get it whenever Scott gets around to it (not a knock on Scott, mind you, just a note).
