I got a 12-hour invoice from a consultant who was tasked to do the
following:

- Install a Red Hat machine from absolute scratch for PHP/MySQL/Apache

- Copy over some MySQL databases

- Have mod_rewrite working via htaccess, and have wildcard DNS

I realize there are a billion different variables - I don't know
specifically what distribution he used, or any other variables - but
what are the chances that his invoice is reasonable? Assume that he
should know what he's doing without having to learn anything. Thanks...
