Highly recommended. Then there's always the build in support for SVN in many editors, or even the Terminal commands. http://scplugin.tigris.org/ I use the SC Plugin for Finder which works pretty much exactly like Tortoise SVN does on Windows.

And who needs a GUI to write SQL or use SVN? I will give you the heat issue. But it isn't so hot I wont have my MacBookPro on my lap, and my Dell was almost as hot.

I will give you the heat issue. But it isn’t so hot I wont have my MacBookPro on my lap, and my Dell was almost as hot.

I've been installing and checking it out in VMWare since the first release. Unfortunately I still rely very heavily of applications that aren't available for Ubuntu, like Adobe and MS suites. I have not seen NB yet and will definitely check it out because RR's been pissing me off as of lately. I still have the MacBook, it's sitting on a shelf gathering dust.

I had not heard that before. I currently have a MacBook and am starting to think about my next laptop purchase. I am actually leaning towards a Dell Ubuntu Linux machine instead of a MacBook Pro at the moment, but I probably won't pull the trigger on anything for at least another 6 months or so. Currently I have an Ubuntu desktop that is tied to my Macbook via Synergy. If you have not tried Ubuntu yet, I would highly recommend giving it a try. You can easily create a dual boot from your Windows machine. As for an IDE, have you tried NetBeans 6.0 Milestone 10? I discovered it last week and find it far superior to RadRails. Lastly, I have to ask, what did you do with your week old MacBook Pro? It is interesting how the MacBook Pro has a heat issue for you. I had not heard that before.
