LAMPPP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP/Python/Perl) was recently deemed the most secure open source software package by a government-backed study.

/In the analysis, more than 17.5 million lines of code from 32 open-source projects were scanned. On average, 0.434 bugs per 1,000 lines of code were found, Coverity said. The LAMP stack, however, 'showed significantly better software quality," with an average of 0.29 defects per 1,000 lines of code, the technology company said./
