I worry a bit about PHPMyAdmin...

http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200402-05.xml

That was fixed in February, but since then, there's also been
a security fix about "cookie hijacking" or something.  Best
if you can make sure your PHPMyAdmin server runs only on an
internal network, I think...

For the record, the "P" in "LAMP" stands for either PHP or Perl,
your choice.  :)
