Perhaps more effort needs to made with the LSMB installer. I still am not running it because it does not install on a standard ubuntu desktop box.
Agreed, at least as far as Windows goes.  But consider Ubuntu.  Do you *really* want us writing global options to your Apache configuration file, possibly ovewriting SSL options, etc?  I think the case can be made that on Linux, the responsibiloity for setting up the servers beyond some basic settings, should be the responsibility of the administrator.

 1. Which global options are you referring to? Any that can't be contained in an application-config file in APACHE_DIR/conf.d/...?
 2. Ubuntu and many linux distros are focussed on being useable by individuals who would not be considered 'administrators', eg home users and small businesses, eg that currently run Windows. The software has to install itself and take care of itself. If it cant, "it doesn't work" and it gets chucked out again. Are you interested in catering for these users?
