Question for everybody that applied to the winter YC session. What programming language and back-end storage engine is/does your application use?

Ours: PHP5 + MySQL5 + Slices from SliceHost running CentOS 5.2 and Fedora 9.

Looking forward to the responses.

Why are you running on two different OSes?

Fedora updates much quicker to newer versions of packages, specifically in our case PHP. So our webserver is running Fedora, and or database server, MySQL, is running CentOS 5.2.

The nitty gritty is that the CentOS base installs PHP 5.1.6, but we use features only in PHP 5.2 and greater.

Why run any CentOS at all then?
