Ever wondered if you could install the LAMP stack (on Linux Mint/Ubuntu) with one simple command?
One would say let's do:

$ sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2

However, there's a shorter way of accomplishing that. Try:

$ sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Or if you like things a bit more graphical, you could do:

$ sudo tasksel install lamp-server

And your LAMP is ready!
