new to linux
hi
i've never used linux, i used unix in the early nineties ( programming in cobol! ) but i can't remember anything for work we're moving over to linux servers from windows for all our web sites, and i'd like to set up something so i can code and test sites on a linux platform what would be the best way to go about it? what would be the best ( and easiest ) version of linux to install and run? i've read a little on virutalbox, which as i understand would allow me to run linux on my windows system. would that be a good way to go? would i still be able to install and run the software i need under linux? i need it so i can run apache, mysql, php, so i was going to try the linux version of xampp. thanks for any help, i'm sure i'll have more questions as i progress!

I am one of the right people to answer you on this question!
I am a web developer and as a developer i just love to use Linux. So for your case i recommend you Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS You can download it for free from here: http://ubuntu.com/download/desktop It's the desktop version, so you can have a good start with linux with this version. As a web dev you can easy install apache2, MySQL and PHP5 Just use the following command: Code:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2 If you have any doubts or problem just right here. I'm glad to help! P.S. Get rid of XAMPP! |
