The Linux host computer
You need to set up a host computer, running Linux for code development. There are two options as to how to run Linux.
 * 1) Native install
 * 2) Install in a virtual machine. I've been running Virtual Box recently and it seems to work fine.

The Ubuntu site gives good instructions for a native install. I've had good success with running both VMware and Virtual Box, though my installation instructions are a bit dated. (Feel free to update them if they need it.)
