Changelog: Add wireshark for protocol debugging. Add additional php extensions for xml, soap, ldap, and a few more.

This is a PHP development LivePC. It includes a nice set of apps to handle all the basic needs of a new PHP developer or one who wants to prototype a new site from scratch. Webmin is used as a friendly web-based GUI configuration system for the server software included in the LivePC. The system is preconfigured to load Eclipse with a project that is automatically exposed at http://127.0.0.1/. Mysql starts with the default installation's set of databases and tables. Firefox has two preloaded bookmarks for the webmin configurator and the default site.

Included Web Development Plugins:

  • Firebug - DOM Browser, JavaScript Debugger, Visual Inspector
  • YSlow? - Analyzes any open site across many axes that affect performance
  • Tamper Data - HTTP/HTTPS Request manipulator
  • Web Developer - Organizes other development plugins

Other software includes:

  • Firefox
  • Thunderbird
  • Gaim
  • Acrobat Reader
  • Flash Player
  • MPlayer
  • Subversion and CVS
  • Webalizer
  • Eclipse + the PDT
  • PHP5
  • GIMP
  • SSH
  • Wireshark Protocol Analyzer

This is a fully customizable gentoo install so the portage tree is included along with gcc 3.3 and gcc 4.0. You can use emerge to add new software.
