Any of you creative elitist Mac snobs figure out how to install a database server, web server, application server, and a fully functional instance of Oracle, SAP, or PeopleSoft on your powerbook yet? I can do it on an XP laptop and I've heard it can be done on Linux. Oh well, at least you have a slick utility that would allow you to remote desktop into a Windows box if you ever needed to do something uncreative like administer one of these systems. I guess thats kinda the same, or maybe even better

Uhm,
OS X comes with Apache, Perl, SQL, Python, etc... installed. Ruby will be implemented in the next release. In System Prefs just turn on personal web sharing. Your root web directory is in the User/Sites folder.
If you want to customize and don't want to dick around in the command line or manually edit files just download and install MAMP (open source=free), (Mac,Apache,mySQL,Perl)
http://www.mamp.info/en/index.php
Also available are LAMP for linux and WAMP for windows.
Takes all of 30 seconds to get running. It installs in it's own directory and does not modify any OS X system stuff so if you want to "uninstall" it just drag the folder to the trash.
I actually use MAMP to do ALL of my dev work on my laptop before dumping to a live server.
