    <p>This is a theoretical question and hope you won't refuse it directly. </p> <p>The problem I am having is that I am working both on front-end and back-end development. Basically by day I am fron-end developer which involves a lot of different browsers, Photoshop and other tools needed for design/fron-end work. But by night I am heavy php developer. </p> <p>Now this is quite a tricky situation. As a back-end developer I would really love to use linux server, same as production servers for projects, which will be much easier to synchronize. But as a front-end developer I need all the tools, that are available mostly for windows.</p> <p>I have been looking long time for a solution OTHER than virtual linux machine. Finally i ran into the Cygwin. It looks promissing, but my question is, can I fully simulate linux webserver with this tool? are there any limitations?</p> <p>I would appreciate any opinion, also if you know about some elegant way/tool how to achieve what I need, please share it with me.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>EDIT: Why I don't want to use virtual machine: </p> <ol> <li>It takes too much RAM. If I run IDE, Photoshop, Virtual Machine etc. my PC has hard time to catch UP</li> <li>I am looking for "seamless" solution. Something that can run quietly on my background, best as a service.</li> <li>File sharing. I know it is possible to share files between PC and virtual machine but I just don't feel like it is very elegant solution</li> </ol> <p>I had something more on my mind, but this is what I could come up with so far. Basically Linux is pretty amazing, and I just cannot believe there would not be any simplier, less-robust solution to this problem than installing whole linux system.</p>

    1. COexplain what you have against the obvious best answer - virtualisation ? I run windows locally and the work servers are Linux, i have have my ftp app automatically upload my local changes to work dev server, seem to work. so i dont need to run linux locally

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
