Hi folks,

Angry mob here (if I was more than one person)... It's very nice of you to lecture me on what is LAMP and all the different packages that theres are - but I already 'get' all of that!

What I am after is recommendations on how to go about it, someone did post a tutorial which was nice - however it is from the pespective of installing Debian a fresh, which I can't use!

Also very little of you seem to have seen that I was after recommendations for open source control panels too... I have however made a short list of them here.

<snip list of panels>

Of course if any of these are in the debian repo's then I would assume they also have dependencies attached insuring all the extra packages they need (like the LAMP related packages) are installed too... which would be handy.

Thoughts!

From previous emails, it really seems as though you don't 'get it'. People
where just trying to help you figure out what you needed to get you up and running. I just read through the howtoforge and I see no reason why you can't take a freshly installed debian install, skip to page 3 and continue. You don't really need to follow the whole thing from page 1. That will at least, get you set with your apche set up.

Personally, I don't use control panels, so I can't really comment on which ones are good. But, I like to know what changes are being made to what configs, using panels as such hides all that and IMHO, hinders you in the end. What do you do when things break, will you even know where to look? What happens if the panel accidentally trashes your configs? Just my thoughts on it though.

If you want to see if a package is in the repository, just do a 'apt-cache search packagename'
