I know they are very easy to get though for distributions that use debian package management (such as Debian and Ubuntu). In Debian Lenny, "sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server" will get you MySQL and "sudo apt-get install php5" will get you PHP. (Or switch to root and leave out "sudo" if you haven't set up sudo). Just name the distro that you are using, and I'm sure we will be able to point out the right package for you.

(I installed apache on my laptop for a class and it processes the PHP just fine.) PerlCoder (http://www.indicium.us)
