sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
\#enable the rewrite module for clean URLs [EDIT] thanks to Jadwigo for this
a2enmod rewrite
\# optionally install phpmyadmin, some clients like it :)
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/phpmyadmin
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
\# we use subversion
sudo apt-get install subversion
