Hello,

Mac OS X could be the answer! At least if you own a G3 Power Mac or better.
I'm currently developing all of my PHP/MYSQL stuff on a Powerbook G4 running
Mac OS X.
I tell you: It rocks!!! I'm running Apache 1.3.20, PHP 4.0.6 and mySQL
3.23.38 with no probs so far.
Mac OS X can be installed on a different harddisk as well as on a partition.
Plus: It can be installed on the same partion as Mac OS 9!
