    even something as simple as LAMP is still a PITA to set up

    give me a box with a blank harddrive, and I will install 'Gallery 2' a php/MySql program on an 'Apache 2' server, with Debain, Linux.
    From Blank HD to serving pages it would take me 2 maybe 3 hours.

    hardly a PITA as you say.
    its all about the knowlage base in the admins head!

    sigh.
    Free software is free for you to use, not free to develope.

    you are confusing free as in $0, with free as in freedom.
    According to the Free Software Foundation, this includes:
    * freedom to run the program
    * freedom to study and modify the program
    * freedom to copy the program
    * freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public

    so Free software is free(dom) to develop as well as use, but yes programers do have to eat.

    ohh is it lunch time already?

    you feed in a search term and the engine Gets Results from google, then parces the Cache or webpage for a RegEx....

    Prob 1. its slow cause it works via proxy

    what ever,

    you need a small tax on consumption
