I've been browsing the forums for the better part of two hours and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes but I really would rather be 100% sure before I actually take the plunge and leave Plesk behind. Not going to bash Plesk, its a good product but it's a bit top heavy and SWSoft is just really slow to reply to security issues...

Apache 2 (aka httpd, 2.0.52 + patches in this case)
MySQL 4.1 (4.1.17 specificly)
PHP 4.4.1 or 5.x

Obviously we're talking about server hosting. I have 11 websites I'd like to move over to another CP. I like that DA is very lightweight and has fewer things in it. Truth be told, I do 75% of everything via shell but at times I'm either lazy or not wanting to dig my way though a particular file.

I've found many posts that detail the process of upgrading the above apps but the DA front page states the support and installation of apache 1.3 (yuck) and MySQL 4.0. Again, just making sure before I switch CPs. Thanks!
 
Apache1 is installed by default, however apache 2.0 is supported but is currently labeled beta.

Mysql 4.1 has become the default, at least on Debian.

php4 is the default, however upgrading to php5 is relatively simple. (Just download, make a few changes to customapache and your done)
 
has anyone seen issues with php5 yet? I think I am inclined to stick with 4.x until they stop doing updates for it.
