What operating system do you code on?

What operating system do you code on? I suppose that most of you are Windows users?

Any OS X users here, like me? I'm sure there are a few Linux guys here as well 🙂

You mean development server yeah? As I develop on Windows, then it all goes up to the Unix server in the sky for the lovely people of internet to look at.

Gary_King

Yep, 'development server' if that's what you call it 😉 The one that you create the code on, anyways. I suspect that the actual production system is most likely Linux or UNIX based, anyways. Probably about 90% for PHP sites.

everything i do is on linux. i have two boxes running gentoo and another (i dont use) running fedora core. thinking about getting rid of fedora and having a play with freeBSD when i get the time.

Id like to say I do everything on Linux, however college still requires me to develop on Windows unless I bitch enough about it.

I'm presuming that using Windows 2000 as a terminal emulator into the Linux box counts as "coding on Linux".

College? Windows? Don't tell me you're taking a computer science course.

Well I code and work on a Windows Machine (Zend and its wonderful FTP support), but my Web and Database servers are both running Fedora Core 3.

If all goes to plan in a bout 6 months I'll be moving over to a Dual G5 machine for my coding/personal computing... but still keep the Fedora Boxes for Web/Database hosting.

What do you need a dual G5 for? Coding? What else do you need that workhorse for? 😉

Would I need to send a medical bill if a I said yes?

Windows machines for development.

*nix machines for production.

Mac. OSX. Seriously contemplating setting up a Linux machine.

Of course, I really do try to write as much as possible in a notebook before I sit down to the computer or I just end up writing disorganized garbage. This goes for most things - not just writing scripts.

So, my primary 'OS' is generally a notebook with graph paper and a green, blue or pink ink pen.

You seriously must get writers cramp, id be quite surprised if you didnt.

Ive actually been contemplating using Mac OSX looks pretty nice actually one of them Mac Mini's would look pretty sexy on my desk.

For development windows because I can develop in all the languages I need in one server. For production server it depends on the application being built.

Which languages do you use that aren't available for Linux or BSD?

Not that I use them by choice, but attempting to do any serious .NET development (either C# or V😎 on anything other than Windows, isn't really worth messing with. I've used mono, and am continually impressed with the progress they make, but there are just too many holes in the libraries to consider it for any decent amount of work.
