Someone's hardcore.

I use vi and gcc on Gentoo. In fact, a lot of people use console editors, GCC, and *nix.

I use console editors most of the time, when in *NIX. But, I've never heard of anyone using Vi anymore other than in examples of editing configuration files, as Vi is in almost every distribution. I used to use Vi because Vim was too confusing, but now I find Vi more unusable than Vim used to be for me. :-p

Plus, there was no mention of X, which lead me to the assumption that ProgressGirl uses Vi on an X-less FreeBSD box. I could be wrong, though.

I'm developing under FreeBSD. Gnome, gedit, bochs, make, gcc and of course nasm.

In 1999 I did some OS-development for the firsttime. At that time I still used Windows with Tasm. Missing any flexibility and power..

For my job I have to use Windows XP. Both FreeBSD and Windows XP have access to my FreeBSD-server where my projects are stored.

I develop first under Linux, using rxvt, vi/vim, gcc, bash, ratpoison.

Then, I test that the sources and subsystems work under _another_ hosted environment. So, for Windows, I use vim, rxvt, gcc, bash (msys)

Unlike a lot of the people here, I have one machine. A year old laptop - I do all development on this machine.

Including testing (yes, im brave).

If kernel builds work nicely on the laptop, ill test on unsuspecting Internet cafe and University machines ... Again, yes, Im brave.

My current setup. The one on the left is my laptop, 15.4". The other two are my main computer, 19" and 24". This is (still) a dream to work on. All the space you can think you need, all the windows you need and a proper second screen for Bochs & auxiliary output.

I only got this setup this morning so it might not be as good as I now think it is. I'm pretty happy though

That's both a yep and a yep. It's 30c here, ice cubes are for a reason. I should be filling that thing up and putting it back into the fridge, but debugging is so much more fun...

I think most of the aforementioned computers were accrued rather than bought in one lump sum.

Quite true. This computer has a lineage back to about 1997. It's only been near "good" since 2 years, since I got a job to pay for non-cheap parts. About 2 years ago it was a bit worse than your setup

Ahem! My turn I think!

I develop both at work and at home, and I'm at work now, so here she blows:

I'll upload a pic of my home work environment and desk etc later

As promised - my desk at home:

And a picture of my boxen - they usually live more under the bed than this!

The one closest to the camera is my MIPSel box, the other one under the bed is "kryten", my x86 test box, and my main desktop (situated on the far right) is "lister".
