Not sure what this has to do with the agile tag but, here's what I understand your question to mean:

I know of three stacks. WAMP, WIMP and LAMP

  • LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (I think this is the most common and best known)

  • WIMP - Windows, IIS, MS SQL Server, PHP (Bizarrely - you'd think it would be .NET or MVC)

  • WAMP - Windows, Apache, MySQL / MS SQL Server, PHP
