If you've been thinking of using PHP 5.0 for your Web development activities, now might be a good time to go the whole hog and upgrade your entire LAMP set up. A new article on builder.com shows how to set up a cutting-edge Web development environment with PHP 5.0, Apache 2.0, MySQL 4.1.3, and the latest Linux distro that you've been wanting to try out. In a pointer from PHP Magazine, there is an article from Builder.com about the setup and configuration of a new LAMP setup - PHP 5.0, Apache 2.0, and MySQL 4.1.3.

Personally, I think that the entire LAMP setup is quite possibly the best for just about any kind of website (including this one). It just feels more stable than the other setups I've tried.

How do you all feel about it? Is LAMP the de facto standard for the online world? Should it be?
