If you want to be, as the kids are saying "k-rad", you'll probably learn a thing or two about linux. But if you want to be "uber k-rad", you'll figure out how to use linux from the comfort of your favorite operating system (for most of us, that's windows).

Unfortunately, I can't stand using SCP to file transfer my development work from my windows machine over to my linux test machine so I began figuring out how to use the GUI and install Aptana directly on my test machine.
