you are more likely to get people's attention by keeping it non-html fluff :)

What I'd like to do is get some advice from the community on a good initial setup for my system by listing out some of the things I hope to do:

everything you want done, can be and will easily be done on 1 machine, i would recommend you do a minimum install, then use yum to install packages are you need to - you dont need everything up front as you start coding / using the machine. Install as you go along - it will give you a better understanding of what packages are available and what depends on what.

Enjoy Linux!
