Hiya Marty. Your best bet for a development server in my opinion is LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) unless you need something else specifically. This way you'll have the best documentation at your disposal. Quick easy way to install it would be: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server OR sudo tasksel install lamp-server (Feisty or above) Loads of info here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP Best of luck.
