I'm super happy that you guys are commenting on this thread, but I won't
have that flame potential not focused on getting my bologna configured.

For the purpose of this thread, OP is developing on ubuntu and is a
native american. I'm very invested in the tool-chain of linux now, My
grandma had to pass herself off as a mexican to marry a chicago cop. Her
son, my dad, would never use linux, but made extraordinary calculation
in then-available syntaxes computing a better house, with, for example,
solar gains, referenced.

I'm gonna try to get php as a two stepper, and if I fail, I'm coming
right back here.
