Re: Ideal development platform for GWT/GAE?

+1 for Ubuntu. I run both 10.04 and 11.10 and both can be made to
work great. Personally I like to download Eclipse and install to /opt
rather than use the normal package manager, but that's just me.

I really don't use Windows anymore except to run MS Office and some
Adobe stuff. For that I use a virtual machine app on Ubuntu called
VirtualBox...its free and runs Windows faster than when natively
installed on my machine!

The command line on Linux is better than Windows and I find things are
generally faster and more stable. My Ubuntu desktop machine hasn't
been rebooted in 10 months...
