Once I understood that that is what you are doing, it became obvious that that is what you are doing. LAMPPP, LAM3P, or LAMP3 would be even more obvious. > I could make it more clear, I suppose--any suggestions as to how to > word it would be great! "Lamp is a shortened acronym for Linux, Apache, MYSQL, and PHP/Perl/Python. These open-source programs are grouped together because many programmers use them together (usually selecting just one of the P programs) to drive web sites." Am I to presume that open-source alternatives to each of the above are both excluded and used less often? Or at least not used much by your target audience? > The LAMP acronym has been around for awhile--I think there are even a > few books with LAMP in the title. Whereas this is my second or third exposure, with the first that made an impression coming earlier this year. A list of those books might help some people, and would establish that LAMP is an established concept. The FAQ seems not to exist. Terry J.
