Here’s what I have done so far to get my development server and workstation ready:
- Installed Ubuntu Linux 8.10 on my workstation
- Updated the Debian Linux installation on my development server
- Installed development tools like Eclipse and Subversion
I tried installing the driver for my Matrox graphics card in my workstation, but it seems that the version of the X Server is too new. So I can either wait for Matrox to release a new version that will be compatible with the newer X Server or downgrade my X Server to a version that the driver does support. Or alternatively, I could just install an older version of Ubuntu all together.
