Ubuntu Development Environment Script
Submitted by esavard on Tue, 09/23/2008 - 03:32.
The Ubuntu Developement Environment script is a shell script that setup a development environment for Ubuntu and its derivatives (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.) using a GUI dialog (or console, using -n option). Originally, I created that script to keep track of my development environment between each update of Ubuntu (and because I like to format my hard drive each time). I provide this script with the hope it would be useful to someone else.
