Just out of curiousity more than anything else...

I was just wondering if any of you had a local testing setup before you deployed

Yes on my own computer, but due to different setup on the server I still prefer to check it out live.

Yes, productivity is nothing without a local environment. Mine is WinXP + PHP4.3 + Apache1.3 + Mysql4.19

Though if I need to work off a live server my editor will FTP it when I hit save which saves alot of extra FTP-ing.

Surely there are a lot of issues with testing on windows before deploying to linux?

Not really, as long as you are aware of the few differences such as in paths and the PHP/MySQL versions are compatible then there aren't really many things that go wrong. More often the problem is the deployment server has something like mod_rewrite missing, which isn't a platform problem.

I use my website to test my scripts on Linux anyway.

Well you can't do mod_rewrite on windows and the write permissions would be quite different as well.....

You must be thinking of IIS Server on Windows. I am using Apache, the same Apache that almost all Linux servers use so I have mod_rewrite on and working.
As for the write permissions that can be different.

I have Grub installed with Ubuntu on a partition which I can boot into at startup but I haven't switched over to using it as my primary because my wireless card doesn't work.
Having a local setup is great because if you want to test something you just throw it into a PHP file, run it and delete it.
