Me
2 vista boxes - Windoze - Outside the topic of this thread
2 linux boxes - SUSE , Debian
1 UNIX box - SOLARIS(Open Solaris -> Belinix)

Favorites.
Suse for ease of use for browsing ...
Debian for better utils(Suse may have the utils but I just have not used them)
Belinix - SWEEEEETTTTT!!!

I develop software sometimes. Primarily for embedded linux

Favorite utils GCC of course

Language : asm, c++, c#(mono)

No php or anything like that. I leave that to the smart people.
Why is PHP left to smart people as opposed to C++ or C# (what is asm? Is that like a dinosaur language ?)

Asm is still used in many embedded systems. PHP is something I do not pretend to use or understand. C++ makes sense to me and I do claim to be smart

I haven't used Asm since navy a school in the early 80's. I understand Php, it really isn't that far removed from C++. What I am interested in learning for the web is Ruby http://www.rubyonrails.org/

Most my programming these days is done in MCode, a proprietary language for IMS Motion conttrollers. I literally wrote the book on it. http://imshome.com/Product%20Manual%20PDF/MCode.pdf

I have no interest at all in microsoft technologies like .net and asp. I played around alot with MS Basic and Visual basic a loooong time ago.

I still say MS has the best desktop platform, if for no other reason than industry support.

Vista dumped on me an hour ago in the middle of a Photoshop edit and cost me 20 minutes work. It took me 3 reboots to get my MS wireless mouse and key board working again.

PHP doesn't need a compiler right?..BTW isn't RUBY on Rails really just PHP...I mean it's not an actual new programming language is it?

I lost most if not all my tech books in a flood in the garage last october (hotwater heater let loose). I had PHP reference, many books from Sams and I think I had a book or two on Ruby.

no, no compiler needed. It parses through the php engine running on the server through apache or iis.

never touched ruby. I understand it is more of a GL4/5 which means rad for the desktop. Do you know if it can't be used in the embedded environ?

My understanding is that it is only a couple years old and is only for web applications, no embedding.
