Comments from those who selected Linux/LAMP

non-programmer like me to create my own tools that do what I
need them do. Using the APIs of the different web services I can
create my own mashups."

"LAMP stands for "Linux
-
Apache -
MySQL -
Perl" and can be summarized as
'my web server'. My web server is a big part of my
work - it is where (using Firefox) I create my
newsletter, store my articles, link to photos and
slide shows, and more. My work on my web server -
and specifically the software I write to run my web
server - is a concrete representation of the
concepts I talk about in my publications and
presentations."
Stephen Downes
"I found it is the best suitable for education as its
sources are available. Especially, for Computer Science/IT
interns this is very useful as they can experiment what they
have learned in the courses and acquire real system SW
orientation."

"Linux-based Root
Server: Most of
my communications
and personal
information
management is done
by this server.
Webserver,
Mailserver,
Jabberserver, Wiki
Engines, Blogging, Subversion
repository... are
examples for how
important the server
is. From any part of
the world I can log
into the machine to
use it."
