Drupal administrators who are running servers with Debian 6 Squeeze who want to try out Drupal 8 will face a big problem: Debian 6 still uses PHP version 5.3.3 whereas Drupal 8 requires at least PHP 5.3.10. This page shows how you can easily upgrade your PHP version to the latest 5.3 release.
The purpose of this small message is to show how you can configure a static IP address in Debian Linux. I know that other sites have more detailed explanations on this (and the man page too), but I put it here mostly as a reminder to myself.
