There may be some, but I wouldn't bother. You can find Virtualbox server images pre-made from sites such as this: http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/ #5 has apache, mysql and php installed (a LAMP package). You can use Virtualbox to run the server virtually, without having to install everything on your dev computer. Similar packages for Xen and VMWare are available, just go googling. -- --Zootboy Sent from my PC.
