Comments about BitNami Application Stacks as a Alternative to WampServer
pros, cons and recent comments
I like the idea of having different stacks and CMSes grouped into the same Bitnami folder on my hard drive, with subfolders for each stack/CMS. It doesn't come with a user-friendly taskbar icon menu to manage everything, though, like in WampServer.
