Ubuntu Starting Questions

[Jason Todd Slack-Moehrle]

Hi All,

It has been a long while since I used Linux for everyday tasks. I have  
a new netbook running 9.04 UNR.

I have a few questions:

1. How do I install Development tools? GCC, C++, make, autoconf, etc,  
etc.? I know apt-get, but is there a package that fetches/installs  
everything?

2. What about the latest Java from SUN? I could get from java.sun.com  
I suppose too.

3. a text editor that has tabs? I have used SciTe before but that is  
not tabbed. Should be fast and have syntax highlighting for web, java,  
C++, SQL, etc.

Thanks everyone! Be gone M$
