That was the point of the tutorial and it was more based on my own repeated installations of PHP and Apache rather than just a blanket installation tutorial page. This site serves to give more information in easier formats because you can get questions answered in the same forum that you read a tutorial rather than looking on PHP.net's page for a tutorial and then going over to PHP Freaks to get into their boards to see if someone has a similar problem that you're having, etc. Meanwhile, you're still stuck.

I do agree, it might be considered replicated to a degree, but I'd rather inform based on my own experience based off those tutorials rather than leave a newbie out in the cold to find their own way through a tutorial that may or may not be considered newbie-friendly.

Future expansion on this tutorial would be simple database manipulation and examples on newly-installed server. I know php.net doesn't have those, hehe...sure, they have links to everywhere, but that's very much akin to porn sites, hehe...
