Different distros' have different philosophies for what should be
installed out of the box.
You're trying to use xubuntu as a developer distro? That's not what
it's for. It's a lightweight desktop distro. You need to use ubuntu
server for a lamp stack out of the box (so to speak). It's in the
downloads on the ubuntu site.
K/X/Ed/ubuntu is based on debian. Debian's philosophy is to NOT install
stuff unless it's needed. It's tedious but generally better than the
other distros when you need to install to old hardware or virtual
machines. There are usually meta packages to handle installing a bunch
of stuff at once. Like 'kde' for the kde desktop and some apps.
Has anyone tried a minimal install of Fedora lately. 700M and you don't
get anything useful like X or servers.
