Actually what I was hoping to do was when it was all said and done, the whole thing would fit on a usb drive.
Then you walk up to a workstation/pc/etc. Boot from the usb and work with your files on the usb (no need to really touch the hard drive). An entirely portable development environment. I just wanted to start with a regular distro until I get more proficient. That's why I wanted a list of software that most cf/web developers just can't live without. I want it to be able to do anything that might be needed. The absolute basics that I was thinking of were: Eclipse with the cfeclipse plug-in (any body know of any other good plug-ins for web developers that I might want to include?) FireFox for web browsing Thunderbird for e-mail I'm not sure if flowcharting would be useful to the average cf developer (I use Visio) but if so does anyone know of Linux flow charters? In the end, I'm hoping that all of the software will be totally free.

I was using linux for a bit and just had troubles since i couldn't get Macromedia apps to work."Post MX2004" I tried and had to revert back to windows. This was even post install of CodeWeavers Crossover Plugin. Problem here was a licencing script that runs in the background on Macromedia Products. You'll be hard pressed to put something together that would beat Ubuntu but if you can figure out how to get around that problem with Macromedia apps I'll make the switch. http://www.ubuntu.com http://www.kubuntu.org regards, Casey On 1/12/06, DURETTE, STEVEN J (AIT) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was thinking that my project would be to create a Linux distro that > had just the tools needed by ColdFusion developers to do their work. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229331 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
