Hey Tone, We do something similar: 1. Each developer has a full 'DAMP' stack - Django/Apache/mod_python/PostgreSQL - installation on their workstation. Our developers work on a mix of Fedora and OSX systems. The OSX guy had the most difficulty getting the stack setup, taking about a day to get it completely setup (lots of compiling was needed). Setup is dead simple with Fedora using yum. It's great having a full local install because it allows us to work anytime, any place, checking in our work when we're net-connected. 2. We use svn as our code repository and trac as our issue tracker. The two integrate well - I'll never choose cvs or bugzilla again. 3. Unit testing is done locally before checking in code. 4. Our staging server is also running Fedora. It holds our svn repository, trac and the DAMP stack. We use it for functional testing. 5. The production server is a remote RHEL box. When it's time to move code to this machine, its as simple as ssh'ing in and doing an svn update from our svn server and restarting apache. Before this project I had never used svn nor trac. It took me less than a day to RTFM, install, setup and configure the svn repository/server and trac. After that, we were all happily using svn and enjoying the features of trac. We were a little nervous about switching to a new repository at the begining of the project, but it's turned out to help us be more productive than if we had stuck with cvs/bugzilla. I installed a GUI client for svn, but I found I like the command line interface better. All the testers seem to like trac better than bugzilla. I like that it's all in [mod_]python and therefore easy on my eyes and brain (bugzilla is in perl). I encourage you to give it a try.
