[PLUG] nerd mode for installing Ubuntu 5.10?

What do people use for development under Ubuntu? Jon mentioned using a
variety of languages... Do you plan on using one or more IDEs for those
languages? I'm interested in more than a terminal window, a command line,
makefiles and vi. Is there a development environment under Ubuntu that
people like and use?

I have a similar setup, but I don't recall how I did the install. 
I'll advocate doing a desktop-centric install initially, then adding the
packages you want over telling the installer you want a server-centric
install, and removing things.  Generally you're safer adding services you
want than removing those you don't need, in the later case there are likely
to be services running you aren't aware of and don't need.

Either way, it would probably be wise to severly restrict the connections
allowed to your laptop.  Denying anything other than ssh from hosts other
than localhost may be a good place to start. 
/etc/host.deny or some firewall app should do nicely.

IMHO, there is no reason :) particularly with a disk that size.
