The fact that you have to pay an extra $50 to get LAMP on it is pretty shocking if you ask me
The device comes with ubuntu 9.04. You can install LAMP from the repository directly if you want to for no cost. The image is meant for people who don't have time to do that.
Slightly less depessing then :)
Although, how many people know what "you can buy a LAMP stack" means AND would chose to pay $50 if they have ssh access to the server?
