Is there a LAMP stack all-in-one image available for download?
Solution 1
You can try the VMWare Virtual Applliance Marketplace. This has a wide variety of virtual machines, preconfigured to specific use cases.
I haven't looked to see if it's got a specific solution for you but, if not, you may want to consider uploading any you create to assist others in future.
You could also find one which had most of what you need, then simply add what's missing.
Solution 2
BitNami has a number of preconfigured VM images available for download that can be used in VirtualBox or VMWare Player for free
LAMP Stack: http://bitnami.org/stack/lampstack
IDE is not included, but you could share your source code from your OS to the VM and use whatever IDE you want to natively.
Theres also XAMPP (Win) and MAMP (OSX) that install the entire LAMP stack natively, no VM needed.

Is there a site that has a pre-configured all-in-one LAMP image ready to download and set up for local development, say using VirtualBox or similar? I want to dabble in some PHP (possibly Django) but for just local testing I'm looking to take the lazy/easy way out and try to find a preconfigured setup that I can download and set up in VirtualBox, similar to how Oracle is/was offering a premade Java environment with Oracle Linux, Netbeans, etc. etc.
Is there such a thing? Preferably using an IDE of some type like Eclipse? I could download all the things myself but like I said I'm being a bit lazy just for a local development environment to dabble with. I've looked at
www.turnkeylinux.orgbut that's not quite what I want; I don't need an easy way to manage it, I just want a setup I can install that will already have Apache/PHP/MySQL (or Postgres, doesn't matter) and preferably Eclipse already installed, so I can just load it up into VirtualBox and log in to some form of Linux and start to get thing set up.
