Ok, I’m back, and the penguin and I are going head to head again.
I still want to make the change over to Linux full time, but I just keep reverting to Windows due to the familiarity. But not anymore. I’ve instituted a “no windows in my house” rule. So, while my machine is still dual boot, I refuse to go back into vista business.
So, I’m adjusting. I wiped my linux partition and did a fresh install of Hardy Heron. No complaints there. I’ve gotten Zend Studio for Eclipse installed, so my PHP coding questions are covered… Thunderbird takes care of my imap mail accounts and Firefox for my web broswing needs… Then there’s Pidgin for IM.
So, again, the only thing I’m missing so far is NaviCat for remote mySQL connections (via http tunneling, wicked handy), but I might just have to suck it up and purchase a license for Linux. I’ve tried installing via Wine, but the http tunneling feature doesn’t work, probably because it relies heavily on the windows network layer for communication. I’ll have to research that some more. So, so far, so good.
As always, I’ll keep you posted.
