132 -It's not a requirement early on, but if your development and development environments are not alike (for example: development on OS X, deployment on Linux), you should create a staging environment that is setup exactly like your production environment. By "exactly", we means that for instance if your production environment is using CentOS 5 64bits (x86//64), your staging environment should use the same OS, and the same version of Apache, etc. A staging environment will allow your customers to try new versions of your apps without putting them on your production server, and you can detect environment-specific problems.//
