I have just installed Apache, Postgres and PHP on a new virtual machine. Not set up Postgres yet, but the rest is running; 5 minutes was all it took.
I was reminded of the time not so long ago when both PHP and Postgres had to be compiled from source - and that took a lot more than 5 minutes! Progress can be good, and thanks to the hard work of a lot of people dedicated to open source, I now have access to tools that I could hardly have imagined only a decade ago. I should probably spend more time reflecting on these kinds of things.
