It is a portable LAMP stack that is basically independent of your distro. If you want to upgrade PHP or Apache or whatever without disturbing your distro PHP or Apache you can do this. If you want to try out cutting edge releases of things you can do this on XAMPP without bothering your distro. It's an environment and what you can do with it is only limited by your imagination. -Gerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
