Right, running a full lamp stamp is not a problem. We all use Ubuntu for
development and we sometimes use VMs.

What would be sweet is to:

{bzr|git|svn} branch some-project
cd some-project
fab runserver # or whatever
open http://localhost:8000/ to test.

xamp, wamp, easyphp, etc have their uses but I don't think they're really
any better than what we're doing now, installing php and apache system wide
and configuring a virtual host for each site.
