Ok ok, there are loads of websites that laugh about Windows and make fun of it. I laughed as well but i couldn't do without due to many software i use which is on Linux not even close in features.
However, in my quest to convert to linux (for 8 years already) i finally found some good software that suites my development needs.
Due to that i can finally fully work in Linux to develop Dragonfly, MOO and many other stuff.
What i needed:
A. a cvs front-end for easy click, edit and point
B. an easy to handle syntax highlighter with utf8 support
What i found:
A. LinCVS (the free version)
B. Bluefish
Anf they finally are mature enough to setup a nice workspace

I've started with many distro's like Debian, SuSe, Redhat, Mandrake, Gentoo, Slackware, Knoppix, Fedora and Ubuntu.
But for a few years i'm a happy CentOS user currently running 4.4.
Bluefish has a option to do tab spacing. One thing is missing though and that is bracket matching.
It's on their feature requests list though.

Now that i'm actively developing on Linux i was shocked to only see all those ugly fonts without any crispy font like in Windows.
A simple google search for "centos install fonts" hit the jack pot.

Now it's all clear in front of my eyes as well

Multi-Touch screen? *nix is pretty cool if your running away from Windows.

I'm using CentOS for a few years now and it's definatly stable.
I do use the centosplus repo though for PHP5.

I'm waiting to switching to a Mac OS X. all I need how to afford it.
How you scaring of Linux? it looks easy if your know how to do it.
My problem is I dont know how to do it. That is why I am scared. I tried it before. Installing Linux and I cound not figured out how to get it on the network. So, I put it back to Windows.
I think I might do the same thing and wait until I have enoguh money to get a Mac OS X. If not I'll try to load Linux again on one of my old box that is still sitting in my closet.

I'm using linux for years already and everything always worked.
These days it's easier thanks to live cd's which i didn't have in the past.
Those days i was forced to download 2-3 cd iso's using an ISDN dual dial-up.
If you want to go safe you should try CentOS, SuSe or Debian.
For home comfort try Ubuntu.
Ubuntu never worked for me though, it hates all my videocards.

I got Ubuntu, it's kind of nice. But I can only run it off the CD. I want to load it to the box so I dont have my CD ROM tied up.
I might just try CentOS thou. How easy is it to load it?

I just did the phpNuke 7.4 to CPG-Nuke CVS conversion. Was very easy. ... Found everything I needed to help me along the way with a few searches.
The most unexpected and best thing I have found after switching was the increased speed.
I used to think I needed to change hosts--since switching to CPG-Nuke all my users have commented on how much faster pages load
Whit
i was running phpnuke and have almost 30,000 members
apache and sql both running at 99% usage,
server crashed when 50 ppl online,
Host wanted me off shared hosting as many customers complaining i was crashing a p4 3.2
with 2gig ram,
i converted to cpg and now i have less than a 50% server load
cpg saved me $300 USD a month
offshore dedicated servers cost $$
thx guys
one decision i dont regreat is CPGNUKE

It's like this - I was working with Oldsmobiles when I was workin with HTML. Then I moved up to Mazda's and Audi's with PHP Nuke. But now my friends I am riding in style with Benz's and Porche's. The diffrence is that noticable immediatly. The Install is so simple once you get it and the site is so secure its like fort knox. Thank you - And you all can expect to see alot more of me around - suggesting ideas and helping where I can. Peace out all - and enjoy newbies. It's really worth it to use CPGNuke.

One thing I've noticed about CPG-Nuke... it is fast and clean. Impressive. One of my 'customers' liked it so much she wanted everything changed to CPG-Nuke!

The conversion from phpNuke 7.4 to CPG-Nuke (CVS) was a piece of cake. The data conversion took about two hours. Hit a few snags--but nothing a few forum searches couldn't fix.
Probably the best compliment I got from my users--"Did you change hosts?" The speed improvement over phpNuke is quite noticable.
Kudos to the developement team! Thanks for helping me get away from the phpNuke tease.

Thanks for the Great program! I never regret migrating from PhpNuke. My
site is so much faster and more secure. Now I spend time managing my site instead
of the site software. Keep up the good work!

Now that we are running CPG Nuke this is the first time I've travelled
without having to worry about hacking, monitoring the site daily, etc. Thanks for
CPG Nuke and everyone that made it possible. We are running a consumer advocacy
site at householdwatch.com and the site is very busy. CPG Nuke is doing the job
and doing it well.
NukeFind
CPG is Fast, Secure & Free
Since installing it's been much easier to work with as an admin.
Better admin features but not as many modules that phpnuke offers.
Built for speed and reliability.
Admin of 3 prominent sites that combined receive 6 million hits annually.
CPGnuke is hands down the best CMS out there.

I just made the switch to CPG, from phpNuke.
The install was easy, simple when following well written instructions. My site has dramatically increased in speed, it really is a day and nite difference.
Thanks to everyone who is a part of the CPG-Nuke project and for offering this CMS as a great alternative to the other *Nukes.
I look forward to being a part of the community.

"I made the switch!"
I managed to stumble onto this remake of phpnuke type CMS and have been VERY pleased ever since... I'm very glad it's the system I'm using to make a web site.

Great sense of community around CPG Nuke!
Thanks for your hard work
Cheers!
