Sorry, you're right.

What I had to say was: "IREX recommends an Ubuntu 8.04 machine", but to avoid messing with your real desktop (in case it's linux too), you should use a virtual machine. Although IREX didn't recommend it, I have been running dr devel env in a VirtualBox VM for much time wihout any problem. Others have used a VMware Player/Workstation VM without problems as well.

Anyway, I've recently moved the devel env to my main linux desktop (Fedora 14 x86_64). As I don't use anjuta IDE there are no problems, and my workflow is faster.
