Latest Project: Ultimate Dev. Machine Script

The latest thing I have been working on is pretty cool. It's simply a Python script called udm.py that you toss onto a virtual machine (Debian based) and run using:

sudo ./udm.py

Then, it works its magic and installs compilers, interpreters, IDEs, editors, documentation generators, source control software, and much more! So far, it has been successfully tested on Linux Mint 14.1. Here's a brief view of it:

As it stands, it is very configurable. You can add and remove packages, and even include special installation instructions all with plug-and-play-like ease. Packages are organized by topic, in simple, struct-like objects I call containers. In the udm_script/desired_packages.py script, entire containers can be added or removed from the installation. In the containers, specific packages can be added or removed. If you know of any interesting development packages that I should add, let me know!

All code is available on my github account.
