I've been using a cheap LAMP server in my sandbox for web development. I'd like

requirements: Apache, MySql, PHP, SAMBA and phpMyAdmin.

Will it be difficult to install these apps on Solaris 10?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, shouldn't be hard at all. The biggest pitfall you are likely to
see is the relative performance of a Sun Blade 100.

Have you considered the "CoolStack"?
http://cooltools.sunsource.net/coolstack/
http://hell.jedicoder.net/?p=85
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/webstack/Project_Direction/

Also consider installing your stack in a zone for enhanced security,
granularity, and a host of other good features available to a zone.

Thanks for the tip. CoolStack is the ticket.

As for performance, it's only for development/testing of a few PHP sites. I'm more concerned with the speed of transferring data from my dev workstation (on a GigE LAN) to the Blade (100Mg QFE) than I am with how fast the Blade serves pages. I've got GigE NICs in all my Linux boxes - this speeds development because transfers are quick. Perhaps I can trunk the 4 100Mg ports on the QFE? If the Blade costs me development time, then I'm not sure what to do with it. I've got 2 of these things... was hoping I could use them for testing and re-purpose the existing boxes.
