Ubuntu seems like a great development environment because you can configure it as a LAMP server and test web pages locally without having to copy development files to other servers.

“I do really like Ubuntu and find it even better than Windows in some areas but I will keep using Windows nevertheless”.

I bet Ballmer would through a couple of chairs out of excitement this statement would bring him to .

I’ve used Ubuntu (7.04) almost exclusively as development platform while I was working with Ruby on Rails last year.

I also noticed that my Java ran faster compared with Windows (my Windows was virussed so I had to use the Ubuntu install since the project deadline was very near). Especially starting the application server (Sun app server) was significally faster.

I haven’t tried out the new Ubuntu, but I’ll certainly give it a try in the next weeks.

The fact that you trust windows at all, causes me to weep for you!

I’m running Kubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) on my mom’s dell laptop and it’s rocking and rolling without any trouble… even wireless internet!

i gave up on windows after win98se…

my two cents,
