Tools for a lone developer setup?

I'm a lone developer who would like to get some structure to my projects. My hardware setup is a laptop running windows XP and a desktop running Ubuntu that acts as a storage server.

I currently use Mercurial as my source control system with my working copy of the repository stored on my laptop and clone the repository to the Ubuntu machine every couple of days as a backup.

What other tools would you recommend for a lone developer to do things such as bug tracking, project planning, etc? I'm looking for something simple that either has to run on windows or as a web app on Apache.

I like Redmine. It supports several SCM systems, and provides a lot of nice features :) It's a RoR app, and is quite easy to set up in ubuntu,

I'm my last job we were fans of Trac. It has a bug tracker and a wiki for documentation fully integrated, you can reference bugs by id in the wiki system and wiki pages in the bug system. It runs on various Linux distributions, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD and MS Windows.
