[support] D6 and D7 on same server?

[Shai Gluskin]

Prothero,

No problems from Drupal.

PHP though... there may some modules from a D6 installation which will balk
at PHP 5.3.x (few, but if you have one of those... :(. And there may some
D7 modules which require PHP 5.3.x. Again these are issues with modules,
not core itself which will work fine on either PHP 5.3 or 5.2.
