If you tried to access the site within the last, oh, 7 hours, you would have noticed it didn't work. This is because Debian Unstable's updated php packages caused apache 2 to segfault on access, even for non-php pages (joy!) Once I got off work, I had to fiddle with aptitude to downgrade everything back to something functional.

Yes, you should always keep a test box around to verify that upgrades don't destroy things (even with stable distributions), but I'm burning up enough electricity and time as it is.

A reminder kids - don't use Debian Unstable in production. I'm not overly pissed, because I knew what I was getting into, but it does make me sad that my favorite distribution is unusable on critical systems due to crap like this. Hopefully, some day, Sarge will actually become Stable...
