Getting around Linux

For the past few months, I have been making a gradual migration over to the Linux platform. This has been mainly due to the maturity and ease of configuration of the Ubuntu distribution. In comparison to Debian, the setup for Ubuntu Server is almost identical with the exception of providing a slightly more refined setup wizard. I put up a short ‘article’ with some details on creating a new user in Linux.

I’ve also been experimenting with Ubuntu Desktop as a development environment for Python. My basic setup is Eclipse with pyDev, Subversion, pgAdmin III, python, and the Bash shell. Pretty bland huh? On another note, the vast majority of my execution commands are still in the Bash shell. I’m not a huge fan of running scripts from Eclipse because of the lack of arguments you can pass to the scripts. Although, I’m sure their is a way to do it – just don’t know how yet.
