Ubuntu 17.10 was released on 19th of  October 2017. And I thought of giving it a try. So I downloaded Ubuntu’s XFCE spin. i.e. Xubuntu 17.10 and installed it in Virtual Box.

Grab grab grab

So with a freshly updated ubuntu, I grab the things I know I'm going to need:

The android SDK, from http://developer.android.com

The latest eclipse build, the basic Java dev edition for now, from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Build essential tools, via 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'. I suppose these are not essential just at the moment, but you never know; I might need to dabble in native code.

And finally a java jdk, by enabling partner repositories in synaptic and installing sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-fonts, sun-java6-demo and sun-java6-plugin. I suspect that all bar the first of these are optional for the purposes of android development/

And finally, not related to the development in any way, Dropbox. Just so I can keep things accessible from every computer I use.
