Hey All,

It's a good think leaving PHP 4 behind for sure...
Just that I am afraid that there will be specific php 5.2.x code in  
the typo3 core,
this will be highly unlikely but still...

I just wanted to raise attention and awareness to the issue.
I have been running typo3 on 5.1.x versions quite successfully myself,
and currently working towards 5.2.2. I remember that 5.2.0 was madly  
bad.
It looks like that 5.2.2 is ok.

Rackspace for example can install 5.2.2 on EL4 and EL5 (they officially
don't support EL5 yet because of the certifications in place).
