August 14th, 2006

They have some really cool sites on there a lot of which are Web 2.0 style. I only scanned through a few beyond the normal sites I visit on a daily basis.

Howto forge has another tutorial on setting up LAMP on the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is definitely my Linux flavor of choice probably because it’s the easiest for me to setup and somewhat resembles my favorite platform of choice Mac OS X. The LAMP stack runs well on Ubuntu and for the most part has gotten a lot easier to install. I no longer have weird issues where I ask myself why is it doing that, and have no explanation.
