- A "LAMP" is nothing more then a Linux with Apache, MySQL and PHP (pre-)installed. There is no reason why Linux should really be better then Mac OS X here and mysql and php could be installed by ports as easy as with most modern linux distributions. - even highly specific LAMP distros just bring that kind of software installed and preconfigured as far as this is done by most other package / port managers, but NOT configured to your specific needs (and by the nature of software like Apache and MySQL you usually have to configure it for your needs in the very most productional environments - i.e. which has to run on a public internet). The installation byself is a very smaller part compared to this. - even on ready to run LAMP distros you have to configure wordpress and a reasonable database incl. their rights for it as required. The only exception would be a highly specific "wordpress distro" which only makes sense in demo scenarios (but then you could try wordpress online anywhere...), but nothing really more. - it makes no sense to run a complete operating system instance just to avoid the configuration of one application like wordpress. cheers, Niels. cheers, Niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT&Internet http://www.syndicat.com/
