I will second Ubuntu. But pretty much any distro can give you what you ask for.

Re: subversion. if you want an svn server, just use svn.

With Eclipse, don’t use the one installed with apt-get, get the download from the Eclipse.org website and install (i.e. unzip) that.

thanks for the list.

> subversion (I would advice rabbitvcs which is basically the same as tortoisesvn)

I assume that rabbitcvs is a Subversion client or is it coming with a server also?

Just install Ubuntu:

- Lamp: Install apache, php and mysql and you’re good to go: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-9.10-lamp
- Netbeans, install using software center
- Notepad = gEdit, installed by default
- Firefox = Firefox, installed by default
- Gimp = Gimp, installed by default
- subversion (I would advice rabbitvcs which is basically the same as tortoisesvn)
- Rhythmbox as winamp alternative, installed by default
- Evince as pdf reader, installed by default
- Filezilla as ftp client, install using software center

Basically all the software you want you can install using Ubuntu software center or is installed by default.
