What this means is that the server contains both the database front end, the database back end, and the client front end all in one package. Upgrades to software based on Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) can be done with very little time involved at all, since all of the necessary software will only have to be installed one time, on one computer. In addition, LAMP software could [...]
