Hey , I'm curious how's it going , because I want to get started , but I 
know I'll struggle if I'm not using the right tools . I've done quite 
some programming ,but not compiled someone elses code . I have a 
Launchpad , I can setup bazaar and pull the source . I just need some 
example as to how you choose the tools .
 Is there much difference in which IDE you choose ?
Where do you get the dependencies ? ("teach the man to fish" instead of 
giving him a ready dependency list)
Is there a batch link/setup operation that I should know about ?

Those are the basic questions , I don't mean to be tedious , but I 
really want to try it out and I guess anyone who's done it once can give 
those hints .
