For Linux Users, I'd recommend XAMPP for Linux. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

For the control panel, download the add-on at: http://addons.xampp.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?pid=32

The Control Panel works well. Allows you to start services: Apache, MySQL, etc., as well as switch between PHP4 and PHP5.

Ubuntu 6.06 is the way to go. The server version installs and configures a LAMP server automatically.

Ubuntu if you want something easy. It's pretty simple to install apps...something like this at the command line will get you there:

apt-get apache
apt-get mysql
apt-get php/perl/python

Gentoo is nice, but it had a steep learning curve for me. Good if you really do want to learn linux though. And the merging is nice with config files, so they don't get wiped out or unchanged.

i am looking at Slampp right now, and really like the way it all come preconfigured/ preinstalled. i'd like to see more of it. minus is that it still runs slackware 10.1 and lacks open vpn.. but otherwise one of the best (home) server solutions i've come across.

Kind Regards, Martijn Beekhuis

Thanks everyone - that's all good info. I think I'll go for XAMPP - looks like it makes the whole process nice and quick and easy.

@ bro:

I'm inclined to agree, to an extent. Thing is that most of my stuff is hosted on managed servers - I have no need to manage them myself, and don't really have the time to spend learning the ins and outs of server management. Where all I want is a dev environment, the important thing is to have something that can be set up quickly and with minimum fuss - and work straight away.

XAMPP is the best I have found to date.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Apache, MySQL, PHP & PEAR, Perl, ProFTPD, phpMyAdmin, OpenSSL, GD, Freetype2, libjpeg, libpng, gdbm, zlib, expat, Sablotron, libxml, Ming, Webalizer, pdf class, ncurses, mod_perl, FreeTDS, gettext, mcrypt, mhash, eAccelerator, SQLite and IMAP C-Client

And loads of versions, so you can get a configuration that closely matches your 'live' web server.

I haven't tried it myself, but you might want to look at the SME Server (which used to be at e-smith.org):

http://contribs.org/modules/news/

You manage it through a web interface, and here is the feature list from the site:
* Sharing of a single Internet connection between multiple computers
* A network firewall to protect against Internet intruders
* A robust email server, which includes virus and spam filtering and webmail
* File and print sharing
* Web application server, including support for MySQL, Perl and PHP
* Secure remote access
* Supported languages: Deutsch, English, Español, Français and Italiano, with more on the way
* Complete binary compatibility with the leading Linux server distribution
* and much more

You know what you're missing.... a cheat cheat-sheet.

Anyway, easyPHP all the way!
