As per the article, http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/01/25/lamp.html
the author says "Of course, there are plenty of excellent open source variants for any of the pieces of LAMP. Let the L stand for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Darwin/Mac OS X, all of which are open source operating systems and all but the latter have open source GUI layers. Let the M stand for MySQL and PostGreSQL. Let the P stand for PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby." It is the author assumption. its not what every one took it. As per Wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29 LAMP represents Linux (any flavour), Apache HTTP, MySQL, Perp / PHP / Python (may be ) If wiki is not correct, please read this from IBM research http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/wa-dw-wa-lamp-i.html To keep it simple for the beginners, LAMP should represent as Linux, Apache web server, MySQL. PHP / Perl may be for advanced users, it can be a platform or stack or what ever. but one should remember Linux is not OS. its just a Kernel. In that case, LAMP abbreviation is not correct. ps: Starting a different thread on what is LAMP. - balachandar muruganantham உலகம்.net - இலவச தமிழ் வலைப்பதிவுச் சேவை - http://ulagam.net எனது தமிழ் பக்கங்கள் - http://www.balachandar.net/pakkangal Beyond Work - http://beyondwork.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
