Ubuntu Workspace

ubuntu.md

I'm going to try and get out of my comfort zone and try to embark a week of coding personal projects and maybe learn couple of new things using an Ubuntu machine. These are some setup stuff I've ripped off from my osx dotfiles to set up my Ubuntu environment.

This setup is basically for Front-end Development and MEAN-stack apps.
