> references to the P in LAMP being Python or PHP
LAMP originated with 'PHP' as the 'P'. It's also by far the most common, for better or worse; 1.4M hits for 'linux apache mysql php' versus 50k for 'linux apache mysql perl' on Google.

Source for that? I certainly recall it first being used as either "Perl" or "Perl | PHP".
diff that against this one:

I love the obvious later edit:
"Of course, there are plenty of excellent open source variants for any of the pieces of LAMP. Let the L stand for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Darwin/Mac OS X, all of which are open source operating systems and all but the latter have open source GUI layers. Let the M stand for MySQL and PostGreSQL. Let the P stand for PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby."
