I use all three operating systems, and one major argument for me when doing development is the terminal. I know there are emulators on windows, but I have had moderate success with them. Ubuntu and osx give me much more power in that area.
- blhack 15y agoCan you elaborate on that? I have never ever noticed a difference between putty and iTerm.
- ramblerman 15y agoputty is great. But I was talking about terminal into your own system, as an interface to your local files
- Luyt 15y agoOne thing that bugs me about putty is its cramped GUI, which isn't even resizeable. (The terminal screen is, but not the windows in which you configure the connection parameters).
- doktrin 15y agoCheck out Xshell 4. It's a perfectly adequate PuTTY alternative with tabbing and fully re-sizeable windows.
- blhack 15y agoAh, gotcha. Yes, this is a huge gripe of mine as well. I don't want to have to launch RDC just so that I can then launch a cmd.exe instance and pscp something to a remote machine.
- groovy2shoes 15y agoAt work where I'm forced to use Windows, I have Cygwin installed. It's great to pop open a terminal and be able to pipe things around as you would on Linux. It makes Windows a little bit more comfortable, although Cygwin still feels like a second-class citizen (especially when it comes to the file system).
