Just reading the new install instructions, recommending the use of the  
Radiant Gem. Currently I have one site installed and configured using  
Radiant Mental via SVN and the Radiant Gem (any version) is not  
installed.

I need to build another site and host on the same Apache. Would it be  
better  
to use the Radiant Mental via SVN again for this new site or install and  
use  
the latest Radiant Gem?

Also, is there a potential for conflict for mixing two install types?

Cheers, Ben.

Use the latest Gem to create the project. If you would like, you can  
check Radiant out into the vendor/radiant directory via SVN to stay  
current with trunk. The easiest way to do this is:

rake radiant:freeze:edge

No. It’s just a matter of the code being shared in a common place in the  
one case, and not in the other.
