[HLUG] Best distro for Apache, MySQL and PHP work? (incl. dotproject, OScommerce, music softs)

[Phil Taylor]

I do PHP/Mysql programming everyday of the week at the moment (Full time 
job really) and I use Fedora 3 (and laterly Fedora 4)

Fedora has Mysql server, PHP and apache installed as standard and with 
some tweaking you can get the up and running well. The implementation is 
seamless out of the box, although they are vey much their own components 
(PHP, MySQL and APACHE) and are configured as such by default.  Using 
the following age should get you up and running quickly with FC3 (I used 
it!)

I would not receommend Fedora 4 unless you are using really good PHP 
applications as it comes with PHP 5 as standard and a lot of older 
applications have problems with that.
