Look up XAMPP, I used to use this in the past before I setup my own personal server. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html This should provide you with an environment necessary for development and production. I currently run Arch Linux on my personal server and have installed Apache, PHP, MySQL and so on via the package manager. For my dev/prod process, I'm using Boilerplate, which provides a default HTML5/CSS3 template. However, the nice thing about it is, they've also provided a small build process using ANT. I've modified the ANT build script to my needs and simply build my production environment using that, keeping my dev code in tact and readable :) They've integrated the YUI Compressor into their build process is simply minifies all CSS and JavaScript. Anyway, enough about that, just an example of what can be done. There's always the option of compiling everything from source as well :) James
