So many people just use what came on their PC/Server, even if they are geeks. There is no adventure in saying, "Everybody uses [preinstalled software], and I want to be compatible, plus I don't have the time to learn [alternative software]". I can remember the first time I tried Windows, it was SOO cool. I think everybody probably had the same experience. But now most people are too busy/complacent/lazy or whatever to go out and try new things. --- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Re: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
I like Fedora myself because of wide support availability. It isn't free, it's $35 / year, but the MyEclipse plugin has a huge set of tools that would round out your feature set, including UML, XML, CSS, JS, database, J2EE editing features. It has a free 30-day trial. Optionally, just look for other Eclipse plugins. There are free plugins for most of this stuff. I don't know if you will get the whole thing on a USB drive. Eclipse/CFE alone is pretty big if you include the full Eclipse installer. CFMX on Linux is a big install as well. That's a few hundred MB worth of stuff right there. MyEclipse is big as well. I guess it depends on whether you plan on pre-installing all the apps and making an image of your distro, then you might get away with a USB drive. Don't forget a database server- MySQL is the way to go. What about source control? You could setup SubVersion and the subClipse plugin, that's all free stuff. >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. >(remember I said cf developer edition not server) > ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229369 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=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
Hi Steve, I admire someone as open-minded as you. The desire to learn new things and try new ways of doing things is an attribute that deserves respect. I'm a linux man myself. I'm currently writing you from a SuSE Linux system and I'd recommend SuSE Linux for both your server and PC environment - as that's what I do myself. There are other great distro's out there, but SuSE is widely supported in both servers and desktops and I find that makes my life easier most times. SuSE 10 can also be downloaded for free at www.opensuse.org. What's more, Macromedia/Adobe officially supports it as a server environment. I don't know if the developer edition works on Linux, but I know the Server works great on it. The viviotech.net web site is a SuSE server. For an IDE, I'd highly recommend the Eclipse/CFEclipse combo. It takes a little getting used to, but so did dreamweaver when you first started using it. ;) For FTP, I use the KBear client that comes with OpenSuSE. It reminds me of what I used to do with CFStudio and WS_FTP LE back in the day.

RE: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
As far as a specific distro, you might use Red Hat or Fedora (Red Hat's bleeding edge). Why? Because Steven Erat, one of Macromedia's support guys, has a LOT of excellent information for using CF with Red Hat. Search his blog for Linux and you will find a lot of good information. Because you will most likely run into problems getting CF to work, but Steven has fixes posted for most everything you'll run into. Personally I'd prefer not to use Fedora/Red Hat, but since there is such a wealth of information for Red Hat/CF, I'd probably go that route. Also, search the archives of the Online CF Meetup group, because there were one or two presentations by Steven that cover using CF in Linux. Sorry I didn't grab any links for you, but that's what Google's for, right? ;) > -Original Message- > From: DURETTE, STEVEN J > > Hi all, > > After many years, I decided to go back to school and finish > my degree... > One of my current classes is Linux + Certification and I am going to > have a project. > > 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. > > That being said, I have some questions for everyone on the list.

RE: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
I have never had much luck trying to get Windows software to run on Linux. Some things go Ok, but some don't. If one wants to move to Linux (or just try it), one is better off forgetting about their favorite software from the Windows world, unless they have a Linux version. That said, there /are/ a ton of good Linux replacements for popular Windows software. Graphics? The Gimp. Multimedia player? MPlayer. Games? Sorry, out of luck. ;) Actually there are a lot of really good games for Linux, but you have to be open minded. Don't say, "I want to play WarCraft III on Linux" but say "I want a good RTS game for Linux". Once you start thinking that way, a whole world opens up. You start checking sites like http://www.sourceforge.net/ http://www.freshmeat.net/ http://www.happypenguin.org/ And you discover a ton of really great, production quality software (or close to it) to do exactly what you need. And most of it was built FOR Linux, not ported TO Linux. > -Original Message- > From: Casey Dougall > > Hi Steven, > > You might be better to focus on the linux/coldfusion server distro vs. > adding another desktop to a crouded environment. > > 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.

RE: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
Well, If there are no legal problems with including the developer edition with the distro, then it would be totally self-sufficient storing all the data (cfm files, etc) on the usb drive. The extra software like Thunderbird would be for IF you had an internet connection.

RE: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
I was planning on having the cfmx 7 developer edition as an install option if it works on Linux. This may just be for me when all is said and done, but if I can get the ok from Adobe (for the cf dev edition) I might release it. Or I might just give an option in the install that goes out to Adobe/Macromedia and downloads the dev edition (have to check if that's legal). I'm just in the planning stages right now. The first class was last night and we will be getting more indepth creating or using existing distros to do specifically what is needed. -Original Message- From: Robert Everland III [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 9:28 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers You could include an option to install a cf server, since you can't run or debug without the server.

RE: Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
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.

Slightly OT:Linux distro for CF Developers
Hi all, After many years, I decided to go back to school and finish my degree... One of my current classes is Linux + Certification and I am going to have a project. 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. That being said, I have some questions for everyone on the list. Is there anyone out there that is using Linux as a CF Development environment? What software are you using to do it? What extra software do you use that might not be used directly for you coding but is needed to do your job? Is there a CF Developer Edition for Linux? (Of course I'm thinking with Linux that the editor would probably be Eclipse with the cfeclipse plug-in) I'm from an entirely Windows background, so this is going to be interesting. I'd also like to hear what Windows programs that developers just can't seem to be without. Maybe I can find Linux versions. Comments? Questions? I'd love to hear them. I'm also considering doing a Linux distro for Database Administrators so if you know of Linux software to manage MSSQL, Oracle, mySQL, etc I'd love to hear about those also!
