And, for what it's worth, when it comes to all but the most core servers (say
mysql, apache, postfix), I've found that it always pays to build servers from

SMTP, IMAP, and authentication all wired together is a mess; same again for
list managers). At least that's been my experience when it comes to running a
server farm - your mileage may vary.

Thanks, Miles.
I'll keep your advice in mind as I go forward with this project.
Your suggestion raises the question, though, of what do I do when I want to
upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie in a year or so? Will I get a toxic mix of
Debian-wordpress and wordpress-upstream?
In other words, am I stuck on Wheezy until I'm willing to do a complete
re-install of wordpress from scratch?
Thanks!
Rick
I'm just the opposite. I need stable servers, which is why I use
Debian. If I wanted the "latest and greatest", I would go to Ubuntu or
some other distro. But I know the "stable" version of Debian is exactly
that. It's done well for me for years, and is a lot more stable than
the Unix I was running some 20 years ago.
