Always mention version no of the distro for relevant/focused responses. There is version 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x (latest 5.4). In all of the above incarnations, CentOS has a decent LAMP stack that works pretty much out of the box. Take the compilation route if you need the latest versions of the respective packages. Also, you mention the machine is "remote" and I am assuming it is visible on the 'Net. Therefore, ensure that you apply, at a minimum, all the security related updates from CentOS. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
