I'm primarily interested in becoming familiar with installing and configuring softwares like svn, mysql, apache, etc. on unix thus creating a development box. Also, I'd like to use the installation for everyday use as opposed to a server that is set and forgotten. Essentially, I want something easy to use and learn with; for example when I started learning linux I started with Ubuntu which was very easy to use and practice with and once I got comfortable I was able to move on to RHL & CentOS, which I now prefer. Also, since this installation is primarily to learning/practicing it will be put on an older machine, so I'd prefer something that isn't going to be a pain to get up and running.
