I want to try out DSL. At this time i have installed Fedora Core 5 on my Laptop, its good system but on my old laptop its not very fast.

i will give DSL a try when i xcan use Apache MySQL and PHP. What must i do, so that i can use this things ? Are there any requirement for compilation, sources etc ? where can i download this things ?

I have found a very good solution: I have downloaded the LAMPP Package from www.apachefriends.org (Version 1.5.2), its a tar.gz Archive. You have to unpack this to /opt/lampp. There is a little failure in the package, you must set right permissions for the directorys htdocs and the mysql data directory. chown -R nobody.root /opt/lampp/var/mysql is right, for the htdocs dir this should be the same.

When you want to use the same directorys for win32 xampp you need to have them on a fat partition and can made a symlink to this directorys, so you can use the same dirs in both installations (win32 and linux). This runs very good on my laptop.
