Learning the LAMP stack

My first project is to learn the LAMP stack, I'm writing the LAMP article as I learn more about it.

Local machine

First I downloaded Linux Mint 18 (Cinnamon) from their download page and installed Rufus on my local Windows machine (an application for Windows to format and create a bootable USB drive) to put the Mint 18 ISO on my 8GB USB. Goodbye Windows it was!

Once Mint was installed I clicked on Menu at the bottom and opened software manager then searched for and installed Nginx (which I'll be learning to use first before Apache). I also searched for MariaDB in the software manager and installed this on Mint.

Server

Nad has set up a domain and small server for me at cy.rusty.space. The first thing will be to install a LAMP stack on this server by learning the basic aspects of the Install a new server procedure.
