Hi:
I'm trying to setup a dev environment using Apache, MySQL and PHP...to
develop an application that will go to production.
What is the most stable versions of the AMP components should I can
install?
The production environment will most likely live on a Linux machine.
My dev environment will be on OS X.
that's a religious question. some people advocate some distributions over
others.
Personally, I recommend Fedora - it's easy to install, and you can use
"yum"
and "yumex" (graphical yum) for package management.

Hi
I agree it's a religious question.
I prefer Debian, apt-get is a really comfortable tool and it install all
require dependencies. All procedure LAMP install it only 4 commands ex.
apt-get install php5 :) It's a very fast and nice (best what i know).

Well, though I tout in favor of Debian MOST of the time (especially for
stable distributions), sometimes it's not possible to use the stable
distro releases, as they many times are way-behind the current version
of the software and it limits you to the features you have available.
For example, the stable version of mod_php for apache under Debian is
4.3.10-16, compared to the current stable release of PHP 4.4.4!
AIA, if you aren't too picky and don't need particular versions of your
packages, then use your package manager to install them. Else, it's
oftentimes better to compile and install packages from scratch as many
compile-time options will increase performance for your particular
hardware and allow customization (pick and choose what you do and don't
want compiled into PHP). For both cases (especially if your development
and production hardware are different), make sure you compile/install
each environment with the same settings (configure options) to make
absolutely certain that you don't have missing dependencies /
expectations on your production system when they were there on the dev box.
