I have a FreeBSD install running on an old P3 which hosts most of my development stuff and my SVN server. So it’s all in one place.

So you have a dedicated linux machine as overall server? I just have a windows desktop machine and a mac laptop. Anyway suggestions of getting that setup to work, e.g. with webserver on the pc? Both have WLAN.

Re: What's your dev environment like?

jakob,

I also have 2 linux boxes in my network, one is my development box, the other runs our Intranet. My Windows laptop is running my own custom AMP stack, I use it mostly to work on templates and themes.

In your case, give your Windows box a static ip, like so:
192.168.1.99 jakob.com

Then on your Mac laptop, add the Windows IP to your hosts file and then when you key in jakob.com in Safari, it will take you to your Windows box. The hosts file is looked at before the browser searches the DNS servers, so you can have your internal network be whatever you like.

Re: What's your dev environment like?

( On the MAC administrative Box )
  • TextMate + TXP Bundle
  • Transmit 3.5
  • Skedit (Almost not necessary anymore, TM is friend with Transmit here and yourself)
  • Terminal app
  • XAMPP (feeding the LAN locally from a windows Box)
  • Xylscope
  • Safari
  • Firefox + Extensions
  • File List ( Peter Maurer)
    ( Windows for serving and testing and Graphic work, so I can have everything neatly locked down in prefs Sharing on the mac administrative Box)
  • Topstyle Pro
  • Photoshop 7 (Until Adobe decides about delivering MAC compatible software FOR ALL MAC PLATFORMS, without driving you nuts)
  • Illustrator 10 ( windows ) (see above)

There’s more, but this is what I am using these days.

( I can not wait until Jaguar comes out. As soon as that happens, TextMate v2 is going to be available not any much time after, which will make me switch to Jaguar immediately)

NOTE.: It is worthwhile to mention here that TextMate can handle about any Programming Language/ CMS/ Framework, that you can think of, and if it doesn’t know it yet, it can be told to do so (except binaries). It’s the most extensible adaptable Texteditor around. It’ll just do, what you want it to do, and not some marketing department want’s you to do.
Are you a Programer ? and want to switch to Ruby, Python, Perl ? Edit CSS, HTML, XHTML, write and e-mail ?

No problem, it’s just a shortcut or TAB Trigger away.
(No need for lorem ipsum applications and other such nonsense)

regards, marios

Re: What's your dev environment like?

Jakob,

If you don’t want to mess with hosts files the other thing you can do is just install Bonjour on your windows machine and the mac laptop will just be able to find it. You can just go to http://computername.local/ It works out really well. Then you just need to run WAMP or something on the windows box.

Re: What's your dev environment like?

ConTEXT, Opera and PuTTY on XP as a pseudo thin client. Firefox and some old standalone IE versions for compatibility testing. Everything else on OpenBSD via PuTTY: rsync, samba, vim, svn, and PHP in CLI mode for unit testing.

Oh, and iTunes. Can’t work without that.
