i came across a new distribution of apache from
http://www.apache2triad.org/. it comes w/ Apache 2.0.47 , MySQL 4.0.13 , OpenSSL 0.9.7b PHP 4.3.3 , Perl 5.8.0 , Tcl 8.4.2 , Python 2.2.2 + PHP-Nuke 6.8 , PHPmyadmin 2.5.2 , AWStats 5.7 + Stunnel 4.04 , SSLCert 1.0 + Xmail 1.1.6 and SlimFTPd 3.13 + UebiMiau 2.7.2 and PHPXmail 0.33 and more. i think its too much stuff that is not usually used for a web server. also i think its too packed w/ features, where as WAMPP is just right!!! just thought i would bring it to somebodys attention.
