title: Pre-installed Linux for Web Developers?
body: <p>Does anybody know an ISO image of a up-to-date Linux distribution aimed at web developers with one, some or all of the following features:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>LAMP stack readily set up (Readily installed Apache 2, virtual sites directory structure (hosting), PHP installed, mySQL installed)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Ruby/RoR set up for a beginner to start with</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Subversion set up for multiple repositories</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Firewall configured for functioning as a web server (Port 80 open, not much else)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Python and Trac installed and integrated with Apache (Multi-environment capable)</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>Background:</p>
  <p>I have a powerful new workstation and would like to set up a number of virtual machines for testing, development and version control, preferably on Linux. The machines will not be exposed to the public.</p>
  <p>I would like to save as much installation and set up work as possible - setting up everything from the above list would cost me weeks if I'd do it alone.</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Bounty</strong></p>
  <p>I have had to put this on the shelf for the time being due to other, more pressing projects. The suggestions made are already a brilliant list; I'm putting a bounty on the question to try and gather as much input as possible, so this can be the reference question on the issue for future generations.</p>
  <p>I will be awarding the bounty either based on popular vote or on a whim, from what looks the best solution to me.</p>
