I'll try adn stick to this format to make things easy :-)

 Add the following repo(s):-
 
 	Medibuntu, banshee ppa, my ppa (as I'm learning to package)
 
 Install the following apps:-

 	samba - to access my shared data on other machines
	texmaker - for latex documents
	bzr - for some projects
	sshfs - for some things I don't want samba on
	vim-full - as it's useful
 	<desktop not from repos>
	Mathematica - Useful for uni
	Openoffice 3-Beta/Alpha - As then I can have errorbars in graphs
	UT GoTY - For general shooty type fun
	<server from repos>
	Apache/MySQL/PHP - For websiteyness
	phpwiki - for me to keep track of various things I'm working on

	fetchmail/procmail - again for my emails as I read them on the server
	gpg - For pgp keys and the like
	irssi - for IRC
	bzr - for some projects
	vim-full - as it's useful
	sendxmpp - For sending single jabber message (like irssi notifications)
	<server not from repos>
	sleekxmpp - python xmpp library
	jabberbots - Built by me for various tasks
	Doorbell - My doorbell client
	wordpress - As I couldn't be bothered with permissions stuff for the repo one
			
 Firefox extensions
	<all on desktop> 
 	adblock plus - block ads
	firebug - for debugging web pages
 
 Add data
 	
 	Gajim logons - for jabber/msn
 	ssh keys - to let me logon to machines without passwords
 	
 
 Optional extras I don't _always_ add but often do:-
 
 	Wireshark - for diagnosing network issues
 	Google earth - to spy on you all
 	ffmpeg (from medibuntu) - to do audio/video encoding
 
I think that's it, there's a few things I missed off as they're in flux,
like I used to use eclipse, but got bored of it being so slow, so am
testing three or 4 PHP editors, used to use Amarok aswell, but am slowly
being converted to Banshee.
