sudo apt-gets install lamp-server^

he was missing the ^

thanks a lot for this article. It's amazing how a small character like ^ has kept me in the dark for weeks now

I just installed LAMP on a Dell Opti-Plex I recently loaded with Ubuntu 11.10 according to the article.

Everything went so smooth I had to double check to make sure everything was  installed properly. Yes. apt-get is now my best friend, and this article and the tasks herein are on-point.

My first encounter with a non-MS OS was SCO Unix (way) back in 1992.

Thank you to all who contribute their long-labored hours and talent to developing and maintaining such a wonderful flavor of Linux.
