Well I'm gonna put my old trusty laptop to use and set it up as a Rails development machine and since I havn't done any development in Linux before (besides som java in jEdit) I'm looking for input on how to set it up.
Need input on:
IDE/Editor (preferably with built in directory viewer, needs autocomplete and syntax highlighting, also no Modal editors like vim)
A snappy Desktop Environment or Window Manager that let's me focus on the code and not ripping my hair out for being so slow.
A graphical MySQL administrator, I could do it by hand, but I would probably f* it up, so I would need something to ease me into it.
If this has already been covered I humbly beg for your forgivness, I did a search but only checked top 10 or so topics.
Happy coding to you all!
