I'm working with a host on a Linux box with PHP 4.2.2.  The version of GD
Library they have is 1.8.4.  I was uploading some pictures using a script
that leveraged GD Library 2+.  Using the php version with the newer GD
library seemed to produce a better quality image.  I have two questions:

 

1 - Can a newer version of GD Library (1.8.4 vs 2+) make a difference in
image quality?

2 - I'd like to upgrade the Linux box that has PHP 4.2.2 and GD Library
1.8.4 to the most recent version.  Is this easy?  Any guidance?  Do I need a
patch?

 

PS - I've been working off of this site: http://www.boutell.com/gd but
wanted to bounce this around with some experts first.
