New LAMP Server

[dragondefj]

I am going to install a LAMP server on my old laptop. I am trying to decide between Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, or CentOS (I have all of them, plus more). Anyways, your opinion will be greatly appreciated.

What does "LAMP" stand for?

I was wondering the same thing, google-ing (for 'LAMP server') i found its
Linux + Apache + MySQL + PhP = wicked sweet webserver

google might have answers for this thread

I have tried slackware but had issues setting it up, when I finally got it workin it ran great but it took a while. I currently use mandriva 64 2006 and it runs very smoothly and is easy to setup. I also have webmin installed to ease updates and software install as well as apache and samba, but many modules exist to administer other programs as well.

I'd avoid Gentoo for an old laptop simply because the install would take an eternity (everything's compiled from source). Any of the other three would be fine. I like Debian personally, but they're all fine.
