[dba-VB] Visual Studio community edition

 >>It sounds like an excellent rig.

I hand built my Linux Mint desktop / server using a hex core AMD with 24 
gigs RAM, and am about to bring up an 8 TB raid 5 storage on that 
machine as well, to provide large redundant storage for all my stuff.  I 
am trying to run MariaDB on that, which is installed and running but I 
cannot get logged into.  Sigh.  I also want it to host all of my code 
repositories, out on the RAID array when that is working.

 >>...but I am assuming you want merged functionality running across 
both platforms...is this correct?

Uhhh... yes.  I think.

I got SVN Server running on the Linux box the other day.  I will be 
trying to use it for Visual Studio, running on my laptop, which is ATM 
my main dev machine.  I may also be using it for Eclipse running on the 
Linux  Mint desktop / server which I will use to cross compile to Single 
Board Computers (SBCs) such as the BeagleBone Black, Odroid-C1 (both of 
which I have already) and Raspberry Pi 2 B+ (which I am about to order).

OTOH I also need to start learning / using GIT as well, so I may host my 
own GIT on the Linux desktop / server.  Depending on how that goes, I 
may well simply move to GIT.  This is all somewhat convoluted as some of 
my projects are private, and GIT in the wild is free but only for public 
projects, thus I would need to host my own GIT repository - assuming 
that is free as well.  At the same time, I am starting to work on a 
public team doing a game (in C++) on the Raspberry PI 2 so I also need 
to be able to use the web based GIT repository used by that team.

  It is a reasonably powerful machine and will end up being the center 
of my Linux SBC development universe.  All of those SBCs run Linux 
exclusively so if I am going to go there (and that is my future focus) 
then I pretty much have to make a pretty major switch.

Learn Linux, C++, tool chains, Eclipse IDE, cross compilation etc. Just 
a lot to figure out.

I thought Visual Studio and C# was pretty major, which coming from 
Microsoft Access it was.
