LAMP on SUSE Linux Enterprise

Overview

The LAMP stack of open source software components - Linux; the Apache Web server; MySQL database; and the coder's choice of PHP, Python or Perl - has moved beyond its position as a Web developer's creative toolkit to become a major development platform for the enterprise. Long a cornerstone of the Web's highest volume sites (including Amazon, Friendster, Google and Yahoo), LAMP has more recently been used to create major online transactional systems for Boeing, Disney, Lufthansa and Sabre, to name only a few organizations. What these bellwethers of online business have discovered is that open source software now offers the simplest, fastest, most flexible, affordable and scalable platform for building and deploying Web-based, enterprise-class applications.
