L.A.M.P. refers to a toolset consisting of Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP|Perl|Python|Postgresql... providing a powerful framework for rapid development of robust solutions. Each component is open source and has proven to be enterprise ready.
Kenosha, a city of about 100,000, was on the bleeding edge when it began deploying Linux a decade ago. The city had been a Unix shop, but as IT demands became more dynamic and more dependent on the Internet, Schall decided that instead of buying more Unix boxes, it was time to look at an inexpensive alternative. more

Apache Friends is a non-profit organization based in Germany with similar goals as LAMPgroup. They have been running since 2002 and I have used their XAMPP (Apache/MySQL/PHP/Perl/MyPHPAdmin/Webalizer...) prepackaged stack for a couple of years on both Windows and Linux.
XAMP also provides a nice admin tool to start and stop the services and is easy to deinstall.
As some of you know, every August Toasterz sponsors OpenGroupware.org at Linux World Expo San Francisco. This year I had the pleasure of taking Linux Journal contributing editor, Reg Charney out to lunch to discuss OpenSource developer toolsets and other topics.
I just posted a major update to my guide, Install & Configure Apache with PHP, JSP, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin on Windows 2000/XP. The update includes all the latest versions of Apache, PHP, JSP, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin. There's been a lot of great feedback on the original post.
OK, enough is enough. Stop splitting hairs about what exactly L.A.M.P. means.
There are too many great tools available to the opensource developer to be exclusive. Exclusion hurts OpenSource.
Let's agree that L.A.M.P. already conveys much more than it's spelling and go along with the inevitable mutation of meaning any significant idea naturally undergoes as it matures.
Let's be inclusive. Any opensource tool that works can be part of L.A.M.P. In fact, let's call our wonderful, enlightening and powerful server platform LAMPstack from now on.
The Pirate project was developed as a way to run Python programs in the Parrot virtual machine. Python is a high-level programming language. See http://www.python.org for more information about it, such as tutorials, reference documentation, and the source code. Parrot is a virtual machine specification and implementation being written to run Perl 6. Supporting other languages on the Parrot VM is also a goal.
Off Topic? Well, yes...but it's got Penguins so it's gotta be LAMP too!
