DevEn is a developpement environement creator for LAMP server focused on Debian. When you start a project, you want to get it up and runnung without to much hassle. DevEn creates a home folder for the project, a virtualhost for Apache, an entry to the /etc/hosts file that points to localhost and optionaly a mysql database.

DevEn is not as complete as EasyEngine and certainly does not do WordPress installs, but it does set you up a developpement environment quickly.
