Since my old Ubuntu lived a long live and saw numerous hacks, I chose to reinstall from scratch, here are the steps I took:

1. install dotfiles
2. Skype
3. Multi-clipboard: sudo apt-get install glipper
4. Application laucher: sudo apt-get install gnome-do + enable skype plugin
5. Ruby enterprise
6. Rubymine + Desktop icon+ Meta key for Rubymine
7. Mysql: sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysql-ruby
8. Apache:  sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-prefork-dev
9. Passenger
10. SSL for apache/passenger
11. gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
12. gems…
13. Java: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
14. Git: sudo apt-get install git-core

No more hacks, everything works, very fast startup (~10s), faster graphics (for intel chips) 😀
