for a project there will be me and one more programmer to develop a web service.

i wonder how the development environment should be like.

cause we need central storage (documents, pictures, business materials etc), file version handling, lamp (testing the web service) etc.

i have never set up an environment for this before and want to have suggestions from experienced people which tools to use for effective collaboration.

what crossed my mind:

seperate applications:
- google wave (for communication forth and back, setting up guide lines, other information)
- team viewer (desktop sharing)
- skype (calling)

vps (ubuntu server):
- svn (version tracking)
- ftp (central storage)
- lamp (testing the web service)
- ssh (managing the vps)

is this an appropriate programming environment? and regarding the vps, is it best practice to use ONE vps for all tasks listed up there?

all suggestions and feedbacks are welcome!
