Xfce is my favourite desktop environment, simple is beautiful :D but it has one point I don’t like: the desktop icons with ugly background & borders around the text. I found the tip can make it looks nice :) (more…)

Install (downgrade) php 5.2.x in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Today, all computers in my PHP department has been changed to Ubuntu 10.04. That’s awesome ^^

But my current project is running on out of date PHP & Zend Framework versions that was deprecated from PHP 5.3.0

Our Windows server running on PHP 5.2.x version, so we decided… downgraded to 5.2.x, too :) )

If you install LAMPP on Ubuntu 10.04, you’re getting PHP 5.3.2 & it is not the version you want. You have at least 2 options to install PHP 5.2.x:
- Download & build from source code
- Change source.list to get older version
