Install....Never restart!

I keep getting these 'wow's, using Linux. One evening I was installing a bunch of stuff, including telnet (thought I would use this as a remote control to linux) and samba (not default in Ubuntu desktop), configured it, and had it working in no time. Then I uninstalled Telnet(it's a security risk), and installed Kino. 'Fired' up Kino with no problems. Apache2 was installed and started, meantime Ubuntu had some updates installed. All of this I did without restarting a single time. Had this been windows I'm sure I would have had to restart at least once.

I just have a few outstanding issues left(to really quit my Windoze habit):
  • Eclipse IDE(Integrated Development Environment) and JDK(Java Development Kit)
  • Ant installation
  • Apache2 configuration
  • PHP module for Apache, installation and configuration
  • Servlet module for Apache, installation and configuration
  • MySQL installation and configuration
....a few hours more....and I can leave Windoze for good... <- wishfull thinking, but very close..
