Lightweight Debian with Fluxbox as programming environment
Channel: Mesi Rendon
Date: 2013-01-28

In this video I'm showing how to install a lightweight Debian programming environment with Fluxbox as desktop environment in a machine with an i386 architecture, 512 in RAM, 20 GB in disk.

I'm not using an IDE (e.g. NetBeans® and Eclipse®) since those tend to consume up to 1GB or more in RAM. The solution: Vim set up with NERDTree, List tags, ACK, Pathogen and other plugins that improve Vim to more than an IDE level.

This environment is aimed to PHP, MySQL, Apache2 and Exim4. However it's highly adaptable to other programming languages such as Ruby, Perl and Python.

In further videos I'll cover topics such as customizing Fluxbox, debuging PHP using Vim, and so on.

Hope you like it.
