    Programming in Linux (Ubuntu)

    Hi, I've been working with C# and AS2, but today I don't have Windows since I'm using Linux.

    Any recommended languages which are properly applicable in all operating systems? (I know some info, but more info would make it better)
    If you are an experienced Linux-user, what is your favorite IDE and why?
    I'm often interested in system/application programming, I'm not really into the world of game/animation/network programming.

    Thanks for any valuable answer...

      You don't have to have Windows available to you in order to code in C#. On Ubuntu you can install the Mono package, which is a port of .Net to Linux.

      There are a number of languages you can code in:

      Perl (one of my personal favorites)
      Python
      PHP
      ruby

      The choice is up to you. As for IDE's, there are plenty of threads here on Bytes.com discussing that topic, just search for it. My favorite is Komodo Edit. Its free and supports many languages.

      If you choose to look into Mono, it has its own IDE.

      Regards,

      Jeff
