Unfortunately I've had to move to Windows at work, but at home I'm still using Linux with more choice of applications.
Window manager - DWM, sometimes hacked Scripting language of choice: python (I find it easier to use one language almost all my scripting even though it's sometimes overkill for very simple scripts rather than try and judge whether this should be a shell script or python when I start writing it) Build system: make (soemtimes with autogenerated makefiles) Text editor - Medea (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mouseterminal/, my own hack that's a bit like plan9 acme), emacs on temporary machines Debugger - gdb, valgrind File search - "git grep" (often easier than figuring out globbing for regular grep), grep, Web browser - Firefox, chrome (when on windows) Code management - git Terminal - hacked aterm Email/calendar - Gmail/google calendar (so someone else understands the mail configuration, spam filtering, replication stuff, etc, and I don't have to, not particularly from liking/disliking the "front end programs") Todo - trying TaskCoach, which seems to grasp that some goals are hierarchical Data plotting - gnuplot combined with piping -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ computer vision reasearcher: david.tw...@gmail.com "while having code so boring anyone can maintain it, use Python." -- attempted insult seen on slashdot
