One of the problems with playing with a new platform is getting things 
they way you are used to them. Linux is somewhat easier than Windows in 
that respect, but using Eclipse has at least provided a level playing 
field and now that I've got it tidied up and working on the Vista64 box 
( has to use w32 jave to run ;) ) I can now get around some of the 
little niggles.

Files that are common to windows and linux will naturally follow linux 
rules on new line, so can't be displayed in 'notepad', and I've had to 
switch some of the windows defaults to get 'wordpad' used instead. I had 
forgotten to switch the wrap to ruler off which was causing a little 
confusion with white space, but once I get Eclipse configured to the 
windows php framework the problem will go away. Being used to 'notepad' 
I kept opening files the wrong way at first, although some files do 
actually display correctly in notepad.

Bottom line - rather than reinventing the wheel - is anybody else 
actually using Eclipse and has a simple set-up guide for how they have 
configured things? Ideally for windows, but I'd like to pull this up on 
the Linux boxes as well. If I'm going to have to start working on 
extension code it's easier on the linux box anyway and then I can cross 
test on windows.
