Web Development Tools for Linux and How to Install Them

Re:Web Development Tools for Linux and How to Install Them by jgillich on Friday June 27, 2014 @07:19AM (#7953502)

  Often due to some restrictions by the web development company, most of the web developers are forced to use free open source platforms such as Ubuntu.

Isn't the opposite the more common case, like having to work with Windows?

  How to install Gimp on Linux
  sudo apt-get install gimp

Applies to just Ubuntu. Debian doesn't even have sudo configured by default, and most other distributions don't have apt-get.

Overall a pretty biased and poorly written article.

Yeah, the whole "how to install X on linux;apt-get install X" is asinine. Would almost be OK if they said "Ubuntu" instead of Linux, though.

>In this article, we are going to see a good list of Web Design / Development tools for Linux. Additionally, the installation steps given for each tool are specially for Ubuntu, however it should also work on Debian operating system.

I think most people using Debian should understand the concept of root and what they need to do to install software using apt-get. If not they should be using Ubuntu.

I'm more concerned with the usage of Linux and Ubuntu (or even Ubuntu and Debian) as synonyms.
