Right, the thing is, you could be wrong, so I want to find someone who has already done it. This is the closest I've come to what sounds like a definite answer: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/installing-lamp-using-taskeldesktop-edition.html The second way to install is using TASKEL. a TASKEL is a software application tool that groups some packages into tasks and allows the user to install the packages from the task.. u can install it from the terminal by typing. sudo taskel install lamp-server I guess I'll try that -- using taskel.
