i think you'd have to use get_posts 5 different times. what about this:

global $post;
$posts = array();

//categories you want to pull latest posts from;
$cats = (1,2,3,4,5);

foreach($cats as $cat):
$args = array( 'numberposts' =&gt; 1, 'category' =&gt; $cat ); 
$posts[] = get_posts($args);
endforeach;

if($posts): ?&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;?php foreach( $posts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?&gt;
   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;


i totally didn't test this, but I think it might work

Display only the latest post from multiple categories
I have installed ubuntu 12.04 64bit version and I was new to drivers issues and my wireless lan won't activate from Additional drivers

and I was reported that I have to check  /var/log/jockey.log

I got these lines
