Re: [MLUG] Ubuntu desktop v. server

[Ian <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am running the desktop version of Feisty.  I'm also running mysql, php and apache.  You don't need to worry about compiling anything.  Just use aptitude and search for the packages you want.  It'll take care of all the dependencies for you.

Are you sure that will do it?  Isn't there some trick to integrating these
packages such as compiling apache with mod-mysql and mod-php or somesuch?
The Ubuntu Server page implies that use of their installation package
greatly speeds up the LAMP installation process.  From their web page:

   http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/serveredition

   In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server
   Edition, you can have a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server up
   and ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is
   available at the time of installation.

   The LAMP option means you don't have to install and integrate each of
   the four separate LAMP components, a process which can take hours and
   requires someone who is skilled in the installation and configuration
   of the individual applications. Instead, you get increased security,
   reduced time-to-install, and reduced risk of misconfiguration, all of
   which results in a lower cost of ownership.
