Re: what to use for my web site

Jack,

Not sure what a separate partition on i would give you that the IAMP 
stack wouldn't give you on IBM i.  I am about to remove a very old Linux 
partition that was there solely to host a LAMP stack before PHP was 
supported directly on i.  The space and overhead of the Linux partition 
doesn't buy me anything but more administration.  Bringing the PHP app 
back to the native i environment seems like the best way to go.

Creating a separate partition for a LAMP stack would only make sense to 
me if you had other uses for the Linux partition beyond LAMP. IMHO.
