Drupal Starter Kit is a collection of scripts to aid in local Drupal development on Ubuntu 12.04. These scripts have only been tested on a clean 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 install. Please use at your own risk.

It installs and/or enables the following: LAMP server components (Apache, MySQL, PHP), Additional php and misc packages (phpmyadmin, php-pear, php-gd, make, git), Upload Progress, Drush, mod_rewrite, Create an htdocs folder in the user's home directory, User name and email for git commits, Global .gitignore file suited well for Drupal
