Editing code on Windows, but running Rails on Ubuntu?

Question

I'm upset that I have to develop Rails on Windows.

So, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop and remote desktop. It works.

All I really need / need to do is run the Rails server on Ubuntu. But can I do all the code editing, access to the terminal, etc. From windows?

In short, you can do the following:

• The code is in some folder in Ubuntu (let's say /home/app1)
• Using some kind of file sharing (Samba?), I map /home/app1so that I can access the folder in Windows.
• Then I access and edit the code in Windows through file sharing.
• Use some terminal (puTTY?) To do things like rails serverrun generators, etc., the tail of a log file.
• Access the Rails site in a browser on Windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ps. I know that I can just use Ubuntu through remote desktop, but I don't want to, because:

• I do not like x-windows.
• It is too much trouble when Alt + Tab is not removed from the remote desktop to the Windows desktop.

Answer 1

I think that / home / app 1 can be installed using "mount" (NFS server / client) in the Windows directory.
