Hi, I _would_ have said that installing stuff and setting up the dev. environment was the biggest disadvantage of Windows, but you seem to have that part covered.
Other than that, if your production runs Linux, then you will, in theory, have an easier time with deployment, and testing of deployment, if you also develop on Linux. For instance, you could have an apache instance, running the same settings as production, but locally. Developing and testing deployment and shell scripts be easier. Mac OS X is different from Linux in that it is a BSD style *nix. This might the aforementioned shell scripts & deployment, then again, it might not - depends on things are set up, I think. On the other hand, Photoshop runs on Mac. Personally, I wouldn't want to do development without the trusty gnucoreutils :) But if Windows floats your boat, and you don't have any OS envy, then I'd suggest saving trouble. Why bother if there are no obvious advantages? On 2/7/08, Aleandro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, I'm a Windows XP longtime user but I have also Ubuntu Linux 7.10 > on my dual-boot computer.
