Bleh, this is the era of virtualization... instal vmware server and then have a any given distro virtualized as a development server for migrating binaries to production servers. I do this with various Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, and CentOS flavours. And it's the only way to run Windows to test in IE. FWIW, my dev box is a measly Athlon 2400 with 2 gigs RAM (yeah yeah, Lynch has a shittier system than me ;), and having 2 or 3 VMs running at the same time is quite smooth unless I'm running something heavy in each. VMWare also lets you access running virtual machines on another computer (sort of like VNC but better).
