Script newbies: go for the biggest package

I have re-discovered my love of blogging. Making quick posts when I have anything to say. Like for instance now I am downloading PHP 4.4.0 and while I wait I have some advice to offer up. I wanted to get GD working but I have no extentions. I have a theory it may be because when I originally downloaded it I went for the package without extentions? Maybe, although I do have MySQL support. Whichever though, times like this tell you, you should go for the biggest package as you never know when things will come up.

I had the same problem when I downloaded Dot Net Nuke. I downloaded one package but it was missing all the documentation (I didn’t realise this at the time). If in doubt go for the package with the most features as you may find you want them later.
