Is it dumb to develop for LAMP on WAMP?

Question

After becoming somewhat estranged open source, and spending some years developing web applications in ASP.Net, I\'m going to start doing quite a lot of PHP / MySQL development.

Answer 1

It's worth having a LAMP sandbox so you can get to know where to find - and how to edit - config files, get comfortable with restarting services, handling scheduled jobs etc. if you are going to have to deal with these tasks in production.
