Your Dev Environment
iamelgringo: Before I was using Win 7 as my base OS, I was working with an XP box, and coding on Ubuntu in a Vmware VM.  It was the best way that I could get Ubuntu to actually recognize my 3 monitor setup seamlessly.  I could actually rotate my main 24" monitor and code in portrait style, and Vmware would recognize the change and adjust Ubuntu accordingly.I might actually go back to that setup.  I've been wading through some gnarly unicode issues recently, and I suspect that the Python REPL + Windows 7 Powershell prompt were leading me in the wrong direction a couple of times.  I really need a OS that's working in unicode, dammit.I would happily run OSX in a VM, but Apple doesn't let me. :(
