Hey Guys,
Has anyone tried Drubuntu yet? ( http://drupal.org/project/drubuntu )
Yes, I got bored in the weekend and decided to transform my "very old celeron" from a "basement-dust-collector" to a "Drupal Development Machine" (if that makes sense).
Anyway, so, after the successful install (i guess)...
1. I was able to open up my local machine sandbox install page ( ie http://sandbox.drupal.localhost/install.php )
2. I am able to open up Eclipse.
3. uumm .. i dunno ...
Just wondering if anyone of you guys got farther than this and would like to share their success.
I think what I want to do from here is:
A. at least finish the sandbox setup.
B. Learn how the "drush drubuntu-site-add" works
C. other related task to above (Eclipse, Drush, Git, etc)
Anyway, if you haven't tried Drubuntu yet, I encourage you to check it out, para marami na tayo :-)
Thanks in advance.

Own set up of Drupal on Ubuntu only
Hi,
I have my own multi-site set up of Drupal & Drush on Ubuntu, basic web dev tools like vmware, firebug, etc. I think I naturally shy away from IDE packages like Eclipse because I feel like it's an overkill for my needs (I'm comfortable using the command line & vim). But that's just me. I'm interested in how the LAMP stack is configured though. Could you tell me your experience so far especially in debugging? Did you install D6 or D7? Is there a way where you can install both? :)
Drupal fan
Hello,
That sounds cool. Maybe I should just try that one.
Yeah, I think the drubuntu project is poorly maintained. I would say,that would be such a waste, looks really promising.
Anyway, I'm just a Drupal fanatic I guess.
I developed in PHP(raw) and Wordpress at work so I didn't really have enough time to develop in Drupal. I did one D6 real estate site on the side 2 yrs ago and that was it.
Then we got so busy at work and the next time I know, it's D7 time. Oh boy...
With regard to debugging, I just used Firebug and Notepad++ (yes, on windows :-) and it worked so far.
About the drubuntu package I installed, I just downloaded the d7 version from the project site, applied the patch manually, and ran the install script on my ubuntu testing machine. The install went successfully, I guess, I just don't know how to use it from there.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback. You have some links that I can check out?
I use Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and
I use Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and installed the LAMPP stack using tasksel and installed D6 using the downloadable zip file. My principle in doing so is that i feel i have more control over PHP/Apache/MySQL and installing D6 using the latest zip file is also advantageous. I also installed drush, not via sudo apt-get install drush, but also using the tar file.
Mas ok magdevelop sa linux platform ;)
Thanks for the feedback. I'm
Thanks for the feedback. I'm now using Ubuntu 10.10 and D7. And I'm loving it! And yes SSH rocks! Makes you feel like a "jumper" :-)
d7 works pretty good. I am
d7 works pretty good. I am doing a lot of dev work with it now and loving it. Transitioning to d7 from d6 is not nearly as bad as it was from d5 to d6. There are still some headaches, but not too bad.
Nice to know, thanks. I'll be
Nice to know, thanks. I'll be doing a d6 to d7 transition myself in my old site soon, after I do a d7 rebuild from WP on my other site (sorry WP :-) Anyway, yeah I think d7 is a big leap from d6, per my experience in it's UI and multisite so far.
