Who's got the best LAMP

I see Grandma, rPath, and Ultimate, and probably others. But who do you think has the best LAMP, and why?

I've played around with some of the the virtualappliances.net apps but they don't have an Apache solution yet. But I do like how they use shared storage outside the VM.

Do any others have this or is this normal/unique?

The rPath based LAMP appliance has gone through a bit of an overhaul and is now better than ever. You can now install or boot one of the pre-built virtual appliances and get a site up without ever touching a command line. This is an important thing for an appliance. You can manage the appliance with the rPath Appliance Agent, maintain your database with phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin and upload your site via ftp or sftp.

Lots of updates, including the new rAA 1.0.9. The rAA wizard now prompts you to set the password for the user “web”. This is an account that has permissions to both the document root of the website, and the admin interfaces for both of the installed databases.
