Ubuntu to develop, CentOS for production (mainly because it''s 64bit) I used to develop on WinXP at my last job and I can say that it is much easier to work with Rails on a Linux machine. ed On 8/2/06, Keith Lancaster <klancaster1957@gmail.com> wrote:> > Will wrote: > > Just out of curiousity, what OS do most of you use for development?

Started with WindowsXP. Moved to Fedora5, is it''s much faster. Deploy to Linux. -Larry On 8/2/06, Wes Gamble <weyus@att.net> wrote:> > Develop on Win XP, deploy to Red Hat.

Cheers mohit.

WinXP for development, currently (unfortunately) planning on deploying to Windows Server 2003, hopefully we''ll be able to move off of that to some form of Linux in the near future.

I''ve done Rails development on WinXP but to be honest its faster and I think the tools are better on Mac OS X (ie: Textmate, Terminal, RDoc widget, RegEx widget, running all main browsers easily in Mac OS X (Firefox, Safari, Opera, and IE - under Parallels [ http://www.parallels.com/ ]). With Parallels under Mac OS X you can always run WinXP - and it runs really well under Parallels I might add. I keep a WinXP drive setup with VS.NET 2005 on it just in case I need to pop out a .NET app for a client. It handy to use when you need Windows and then you can just pop back over to Mac OS X when your done without any fuss. ...the truth is since I''ve had Parallels running on my Mac I''ve hardly booted WinXP as everything I''ve needed was in Mac OS X or available for Mac OS X - even Call of Duty 2 and World of Warcraft :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
