Speaking of LAMP... check this out:

push a button, get a LAMP box.
If you are wondering about the "Live CD" thing, it is pretty simple:
Get the free vmware player: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
Get the 'live cd booter' from
http://www.vmwarez.com/2006/02/livecd-player-virtual-machine.html
Realize that there any bootable CD image will boot,
so grab a Ubuntu-Server cd image:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/
link to it (better than renaming)
$ ln -sf ~/ubuntu/desktop/dapper-install-i386.iso livecd.iso
and fire away:
$ vmplayer vmwarez.com-Generic-LiveCD-Virtual-Machine.vmx
Then use your favorite screen grabber - I like GIMP's
I think I will try to hook up VNC and see if I can make a movie.
