Just wondered what setup Ubuntu users out there have. EG - Development server / Software / Any thing else

Running Ubuntu 9.10 as my development (both at the office as at home). We have several local servers running several different Ubuntu versions. Live servers are either CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu. The choice for Ubuntu is simply because there is a lot of information available.

Software I run :
Serversoftware : Basic LAMP stack, with the only difference that we have 1 central MySQL Development server. When working with several people this is a much saner solution.
Editor : Netbeans, gedit, vim
Database Manager : Navicat (it is definitely worth buying)
Versioning : Meld / RabbitVCS
Mail : Evolution
IM : aMSN and Empathy (I hate it tbh, but too lazy to install and setup Pidgin. Don’t know why they decided on switching to Empathy)
Voice : Skype
Office : OpenOffice
Graphics : Gimp & Photoshop (WINE)
FTP : Filezilla
Browser : Firefox + Firebug (I would think that’s all one needs in this job)

And several virtual machines with a copy of the live environments, and Windows to test IE on.

Although I am quite an advocate for open source software I must say that it could use a lot of improvement. Evolution can be a pain in the ****, IM with MSN is working but not great, Skype seems to crash a whole lot more on the Linux platform then it does on my Windows XP machine and although Gimp goes a long way, it’s not Photoshop. I also dislike Filezilla (I am used to FlashFXP under Windows which is excellent) but it works for now. As you may have noticed non of these have to do with development directly. In my opinion the LAMP stack is by far superior for (web-) development then either the Mac or Windows stack.

I run Ubuntu 9.10 as my development machine dual booted along with Windows 7.  I probably use Linux more than Windows for day-to-day development (i run various VMs with different browsers)

Under Ubuntu I use:

Server - XAMPP for Linux (because I’m too lazy to set up each one individually)
Editor - gedit, Intype (WINE)
Browsers - Firefox (with Firebug), Google Chrome
Mail - Thunderbird
Others - Empathy, Skype, twhirl, GIMP

Very nice, i run ubuntu 9.10

Server - Apache2
Editor - PHPEdit
Browser - Firefox
Mail - Evolution (Going to change)
Others - Skype, KAlarm, Adobe Air

its nice to see people using ubuntu :]
I use both ubuntu and windows 7 but probably use ubuntu more :]

Server Apache 2
Editor: Netbeans IDE 6.8 PHP
Browser Firefox

I was running Ubuntu until I tried to upgrade MySql via apt-get.  Something got messed up with the libraries and neither version of MySql would run.  Now I’m running Sabayon linux (sort of a packaged up version of Gentoo) with the typical lamps stack and a lot of VIM plugins.  Check out NERDTree if any of you need a way to make VIM act more like an IDE.

My Ubuntu 9.10:
LAMP SERVER
editor: NetBeans for PHP 6.8 +this autocomplete trick, Geany
browsers: Firefox + FireFTP + Firebug, Opera, Chrome
mysql managers: phpmyadmin, HeidiSQL

I use OpenSolaris and Ubuntu for my stack

Now saw this after doing a search for netbeans codeigniter ubuntu, go figure. I’m on Ubuntu 9.10 for dev (dual boot with Vista) and a Fedora Core 10 as the dev server.

I’ve been trying to find a very good editor or IDE for CI work and think I was spoiled coming from Java. I’ve also seen the recent Forum post regarding Eclipse but can’t seem to get mine to work although I do have the APPLICATION and SYSTEM folders separate along with my PUBLIC_HTML/index.php.

What’s wrong with netbeans?

I am using dreamweaver working with CI on vista, it works a treat.

easyeclipsephp is also good if you can configure it properly.

Before that i was using notepad++ for the editing, which worked fine but didn’t have the site management features of dreamweaver.

I have also used emacs on ubuntu but i never got the code coloring to work with php,

Ubuntu setup: LAMP stack, Eclipse, Git, FileZilla.

Mac setup: Zend Server, Eclipse, Git, Transmit.

Windows setup: Hammer, brick, petrol.

In the office I must use my XP desktop (company policy bla bla)

At home I try to use Ubuntu as much as possible (9.10)
But, I run it on vmware… lol 😛
Thats because I need Windows (for Eve-Online, yeah!)

On ubuntu I got notepad++
So yes I use the GUI, but trying to work as much as possible with the terminal.

There is no server setup, I use my hostingaccount for development
(editing via ftp)

Windows setup: Hammer, brick, petrol.

:lol:

In all honesty Windows 7 isn’t bad actually. It’s just an inferior OS compared to just about any other OS out there, including OSX, Solaris, Unix and any Linux distro.

Aptana IDE as a plugin over eclipse (The old 1.5 version, 2.0 sucks at PHP support because it uses the old PDT).
