Easy web server solution using MySQL, PostgreSQL and PHP on VMware
I have been singing the praises of vmware for some time now.
rPath’s virtual machine for use with vmware is an excellent way of getting a webserver (with all the bells and whistles) running on your local network with very little hassle. I never liked running any type of server on my window’s box and I have found Fedora has become a bit awkward regarding stuff like php-mysql (recompiling Apache or MySQL to deal with such problems just doesn’t do it for me anymore).
You could be even smarter about it and run the virtual machine in it’s own partition and build a secure webserver connection to the outside world!
I am using XAMPP to run web server in my Windows box. I prefer this one instead of using VMWare because I do not need to install second OS. Second OS runs virtually will consume memory of course.

I have used XAMPP before and it is an excellent package.
It would be fine for development but I wouldn’t be giving the world access to a windows box running XAMPP
