BitRock Releases LAMPStack 2.0

BitRock LAMPStack 2.0 is an update to BitRock's integrated, easy to
install LAMP distribution. The new, freely available LAMPStack includes
Apache, PHP, MySQL, Python, phpmyadmin and supporting libraries.
 
February 9, 2006. BitRock Incorporated announced today the release of an
updated version of LAMPStack, the popular, easy to install distribution
of Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Python. The new release includes minor
component updates and improved installer functionality. The
user-friendly installer, developed with BitRock's InstallBuilder tool,
allows users to quickly install and configure LAMPStack across a wide
range of Linux platforms.

LAMPStack 2.0 is licensed under the terms of the Apache License 2.0, and
is free for download and use from www.bitrock.com. It allows users to
take advantage of the stability, low cost and high performance of the
LAMP platform (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Python) without the hassle
of integrating, configuring, and supporting their own build. LAMPStack
provides an integrated package that can be used by both commercial and
open source projects for rapid, consistent deployments in both
development and production environments.

BitRock LAMPStack is one of several packaged distributions of open
source applications currently or soon to be offered by BitRock. In the
next few weeks, BitRock will be releasing BitRock LAMPStack Next
Generation (NG,) which will contain the latest major versions of each
open source component (Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.0, PHP 5.1, and Python 2.4.)
Another soon to be released stack is BitRock MonoStack, an easy to
install distribution that allows users to be up and running with a Mono
development environment in minutes. 
Fully-integrated and packaged with BitRock InstallBuilder, BitRock
Stacks ensure ease of download and installation for the end-user. The
Stacks help to encourage adoption of open source software by making it
easier to use and deploy across a range of environments. 

BitRock Stacks highlight the company's expertise in integrating and
packaging software for easy installation and configuration. In addition
to its standard Stacks, BitRock specializes in building and packaging
customized distributions of open source tools and libraries. Its Custom
Stacks provide a cost-effective way for ISVs and internal IT departments
to ship a complete, integrated package that includes their software and
the third party components that it depends on in an easy to install
package. The resulting installers present a streamlined installation
process that reduces both support calls and end-user frustration,
helping companies to speed product adoption.
