Well, I have installed wordpress for grins at 7am on my work provided server. It seems slow so I installed apc to speed some things up. I am working on gentoo, as I have never used gentoo as a LAMP platform, somethings are taking some getting used to. For instance:

112364-www1 APC-3.0.17 # make install
Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/

Now that is an odd place for my extensions, regardless, hopefully apc will speed things up a bit.
