I recommend the following if you want to go the free/open source route: Free/Open Source Tools
I can generally find free software for everything that I might want to do. To start with, I don’t need a whole lot as far as software goes.

Kernel Version: Darwin 9.3.0 Mac OS X Software Hardware Overview Model Name: Power Mac G5īoot ROM Version: 5.2.4f1 System Software Overview System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.3 (9D34) This allows me to have a portable system, separate from the system I use for home use. I started with a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5.3 on my Power Mac G5 booting off an external LaCie Firewire drive. Here are the steps I took to set up my system. To accomplish this, I needed Apache, MySQL, Perl and an Eclipse-based IDE with CVS support. To that end, I wanted to set up a development environment for working on RouteOne, our suite of proprietary web tools and modules. I’m a big fan of open source and web standards, plus my experience with a web publishing application called Symphony has sold me on the idea of using XSLT to develop a much more flexible system for managing content. Also, I have some ideas about how we might be able to make things better by using XSLT as a templating engine for the system. To be able to help with the development of the application, I want to learn a little Perl to help me understand our templating system better. I like to be able to understand how the system works so I can add functionality in a way that works. I have been doing interface design for the Project Manager module of the system, and we have it to the point that our entire team has been using it to track time for Projects and Tickets. Perl is a language that I have very little experience with. The application and its components are written in Perl and developed in a Linux environment. Domain7 has a suite of tools that the owner, Shawn Neumann has been developing for the last ten years, called RouteOne. I’m about a decade older than most of them. I work at a web agency called Domain7 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada. Setting Up a Development Environment in Mac OS X
