Meh, Xampp is more trouble than it's worth, IMHO. You can install the same thing from Synaptic (LAMP) by opening Synaptic, going to the Edit menu, and clicking Mark Packages by Task. Check LAMP Server, and click Ok, then click Apply. This will install Apache, Mysql, and PHP. If you want some simple management tools, install the mysql-admin package. This will put an excellent GUI, MySQL Administrator, in Applications > Programming > MySQL Administrator.
