I felt there was a necessity to provide an un-familiar user with an easy way to install LAMP. And here it is. Please excuse the unprofessional approach. This is my first contribution to the developer community. Though I haven't done much other than putting together all the required commands into one script. Steps for installation are available here

Certainly alot better than the current non-information in the ubuntuguide.org wiki. Worked perfectly, thanks!
Hm... 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' would probably be an easier way to get the packages you need. :D
That is, unless your script installs more than just the basics.
