title: Editing code in Windows but running Rails in Ubuntu?
body: <p>I'm frustrated with having to develop Rails on Windows.</p>
  
  <p>So, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop and remote desktop'ped into it. That works.</p>
  
  <p>All I really want/need to do is to have a Rails server running on Ubuntu. But can I do all the code editing, terminal access etc. from Windows?</p>
  
  <p>In short, is the following possible to do:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Code is in some folder in Ubuntu (say <code>/home/app1</code>)</li>
  <li>Using some sort of file sharing (Samba?), I map the <code>/home/app1</code> so I can access the folder in Windows.</li>
  <li>Then I access and edit the code in Windows via the file share.</li>
  <li>Use some terminal (puTTY?) to do things like <code>rails server</code>, run generators etc, tail the log file.</li>
  <li>Access the Rails site in a browser on Windows.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
  
  <p><strong>Ps.</strong> I know I could simply use Ubuntu via the remote desktop, but I don't want to because:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Don't like x-windows.</li>
  <li>Too much of a hassle when cannot Alt+Tab from Remote Desktop to Windows Desktop.</li>
  </ol>
