LAMP technology

Hello,
1) Any one tell me about this technology .
2) Which OS(linux) is best while using LAMP?

1) LAMP stands for linux/apache/mysql/php. Linux is your operating system, apache is the web server application that sends information out to peoples browsers, mysql is your database, and php is the "php hypertext processor" (a server side scripting language to dynamically create web pages). But I think you probably already know all that.

2) The best linux distro for a LAMP server is a matter of opinion. You can ask 10 different people that question and get 10 different answers, so just pick one and see if YOU like it. If not, ditch it, otherwise keep it. I think wikipedia has a "list of linux distributions" page for you to look at to help you choose.

Thanx for replpy,

Can some one tell me where i can easily download redhat enterprise 5.0 softwares(like office,winrar,music player etc...).

Openoffice.org is the free open source equivelent to MS office that seems to be most popular.

A good music player I like is called xine. And for video try VLC.

Anything else, just ask google and He will tell you.

thank you for your reply..hope u help me in future to over come form situations...

Did you get it figured out?


Linux has software in repositories. To install software, you'll generally go into your package manager and have it install the software for you. It's different then Windows in the idea that you don't just go to a website, download an exe and double click it (like I said, generally).
Winrar is available for linux. It should be in the repository but if not, you can go to their website and download it. I prefer Banshee as my music player. VLC media player is available for Windows and Linux and is a quite capable video player.
Really you can just browse the repository in your package manager and install whatever you like.

I've never used banshee but I have heard high remarks for it because it is capable of syncing with an apple ipod.

Yea, it's a pretty nice program. Easy to use, has a nice interface and it's not slow or sluggish. I used, what I think is, the KDE equivalent program for a week or slow and it's performance was lacking in comparison.

I have a laptop vostro 1014 . I installed linux REDHAT ENTERPRISE 5
but it cann't find drivers...please tell me where i can download drivers for DELL VOSTRO 1014 and how to install it...

Go to this site and click "Enter a Tag". The service tag is a 6 or 7 digit alphanumeric number on the bottom of the laptop, usually with a bar code. This will give you the options of getting drivers for windows or linux.
