#You should do all your LAMP development in a Virtual Machine

##Here's Why:

Many of us develop on Macintoshes. There are many reasons for this, but one of them is that it's based on a Unix platform of some sort. This allows us to run common server software such as Apache, Ruby, Python and Nodejs on our Macs.

Our computers become powerful develoment machines similar to the servers our apps will eventually live on.

Sometime we start our computer only to find Apache won't start, or MySQL can't create a PID file, or we've updated to Mountain Lion and Apache needs to be reconfigured. Death!

How to test Internet Explorer 6 to 9 in Ubuntu

The final purpose of this tutorial is to have a Windows (XP, Vista, 7) running a native installation of Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8, 9). Windows will work as a guest in on Virtualbox running on Ubuntu. We will also make sure to have access to virtual hosts configured in the host OS.

Following steps have to be run on Ubuntu (or whatever flavor of Linux you have)

Download disk images of Windows

First step is to download Windows Virtual PC VHDs for testing websites with different Internet Explorer versions . These disk images are installations of different Windows versions with Internet Explorer installed. It's perfectly legal to use to any of these images; free as in beer.

Once you have download them, you will find that they are RAR files and one of them is an .exe file. Just rename the .exe file to .rar and we can continue.
