“This tutorial shows how you can install and run Magento 1.6.0.0
on a Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu 11.04 system that has nginx installed
instead of Apache (LEMP = Linux + nginx (pronounced “engine x”) +
MySQL + PHP). Magento is an open-source, feature-rich ecommerce
platform; I will use the Magento Community Edition here which is
licensed under an open source certified license (OSL v3.0). nginx
is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and
delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.”
