no amp in Lamp

I'm running Fedora Core 5 on my dev box ... needed very little messaging.

I wonder how it would install on my laptop?  I think I am about to find out.

I don't think xubuntu is going to work.  Way too much configuring required to maker it a lamp development environment.

And that is why I did this to find out. It was fun :)

Any feedback on Fedora Core 5 on a 1g celery with 256M RAM and WIFI?

He was using pscp, meaning putty scp, from the Windows box. So the
missing sshd on Ubuntu was indeed the surprising part.

Yep. Ubuntu is certainly focused on desktop use. Why install sshd by
default? Most desktop users will never need it.

Still, I feel the pain. I had a few disappointing surprises like that
with Fedora, etc. Heck, with Fedora I found that not only were some old
stanbys not installed by default, they were not even available as
packages.
