Re: Ruby on Linux & Windows

Well, the main reason for the switch was because the project I had handed to me was to be written inside of the new ERP system we are implementing, which requires Windows on the client. I was rather disgusted with the technology, though, and found a way to avoid that mess by doing a web app and tying into the client via a browser component.

I do have a few tools I like on Windows, but they have little to do with development ... mostly multimedia stuff. I can live lesser toys on Linux, though, if it means smoother development and less "pioneering" :-)

Thanks for the input,
Tim

The shell is the biggest problem I have with Windows. Good Network IO like KDE has would be nice to. Perhaps that's just over the next Windows Vista. They'll never do the shell right though.

Just wondering, why do you use Windows XP for devel? Do you use any apps that hold you to that platform?

Well, I can tell you I miss a real shell on Windows ... cygwin doesn't really do
it for me. :-)
