[Cialug] good linux distro for web dev?

[Scott Yates]

Personally I would stick with a server (no GUI) linux install and use
windows as the "window manager".

You can get a ssh shell into your linux vm, and edit files in Sublime for
instance.

The point being:  You are already using the ram and cpu to run windows, so
make the most of it.
