Hi, bjori@php.net wrote: For those who don't want to deal with configuring web servers, you can download the free VMWare Player from http://www.vmware.com/ and then choose a virtual machine appliance already set up for LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). A quick and easy way to run a testing/development server on your own machine without cluttering up your workstation. I don't think, we should promote VMWare Player or any other virtualization technology. Such hints are rather posts for forums, mailinglists than for the manuals user notes. But thats just my POV, other people may disagree ;-)

I kinda agree, but don't really care to much. We arent really promoting anything, its just a user note entry intending to help those who dont know any better. There are lot of links to "these kind of products" through out the user notes. The note is at least more accurate now then it was :) If you have strong opinion about this, feel free to remove it. -Hannes
