However, I don't want Apache and MySQL running all the time. My home Ubuntu box isn't that powerful. I found that XAMPP from ApacheFriends.org is a very easy way to have a local LAMP development environment. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html You can install it in your home directory so you don't have to worry about global permissions. I don't work for ApacheFriends.org, but am just an extremely satisified user. It works really well on Linux or Windows.

Thanks heaps. It might not have worked for @Smoovb if he did a copy/paste - ie if your browser converted the regular single quote (') to an angled one, then the shell won't like it.

If you've ever done an installation from the server cd or dvd, then you'll have noticed it. It's the part that lets for choose LAMP, DNS, etc. Install and run it, and you'll get some choices, like LAMP, DNS, Edubuntu server, etc. You can use tasksel for that.
