Becoming a MySQL Administrator

[Bill Cory]

I would like to become a MySQL Administrator. To be honest I know I have a long road ahead of me, but this is what I've chosen to do and will do it on my own, except for help from you.

First I want to buy the latest, best machine to use for LAMP. I'm thinking I want to install the Ubuntu Server package.
Once I get the software and hardware figured out, then I will take classes in PHP, MySQL etc and learn what is needed to become a MySQL database administrator.

Do you know where I can go to get the above already preinstalled on a machine and buy it? This is like how Most computer manf. sell computers, with windows already installed. That's what I want, but only with LAMP installed.

Thanks,

Your reward is waiting.
