4MLinux LAMP Server has been updated

In addition to all the great new software listed above, the Beta release of the upcoming 4MLinux 15.0 GNU/Linux distribution also updates the in-house built 4MLinux LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) Server, which now includes Linux kernel 4.1.10 LTS, Apache 2.4.17 web server, MariaDB 10.1.8 database server, and PHP 5.6.14.

If you're interested in testing the 4MLinux 15.0 Beta operating system, you are invited to download the Live ISO image, which was designed from the ground up to support only 32-bit software packages, right now from Softpedia. However, please try to keep in mind that this is a pre-release version, not suitable for deployment in production environments where stability is of the essence.
