Naturally, determining the requirements is quite important. Let us start by first breaking out the acronym: L - Linux A - Apache M - most of our scripting languages start with P P - PostgreSQL (shamelessly ripped from a presentation by Jaff Waugh last year) So, three of the choices have already been made. The question then becomes, "which scripting language, starting with the letter P, do you want to use?" That is a question one can only answer for himself :-) Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
