Updating L A M is easy with Ubuntu /Debian. Not sure about PHP. If you are afraid of hacking/security, you can have a monitor service. I know Google has java/python platform. I do not know who provides PHP/Perl one on this level. (yes. It is a little easier when someone takes care of updating for you).

I guess I was hoping to have service such as that provided by my current hosting service, where security,etc., updates for L A M & P are all taken care of by the host. Any recommendations along those lines? One that provides that and still lets me install what I want? My service suggested that I go to a VPS account,where I'd have to do my own updates.

At the risk of exhausting my quota of messages for the month - Our LAMP hosting service does not support PECL extension php_yaz. Does anyone know of a service that does?
