Yeah, the whole "how to install X on linux;apt-get install X" is asinine. Would almost be OK if they said "Ubuntu" instead of Linux, though.
>In this article, we are going to see a good list of Web Design / Development tools for Linux. Additionally, the installation steps given for each tool are specially for Ubuntu, however it should also work on Debian operating system.
I think most people using Debian should understand the concept of root and what they need to do to install software using apt-get. If not they should be using Ubuntu.

I'm more concerned with the usage of Linux and Ubuntu (or even Ubuntu and Debian) as synonyms.
Very thin on the ground article. It would be better written as a 'tools that I find useful for web design under Ubuntu Linux' article.
> However, there are some similar tools available for Linux that can be used in the web development.
What does this even mean?
What's drush got to do with web dev? That's pretty niche. Why Virtual Box? What is it, what would you use it for?
As others have said it's a little Ubuntu focused. And it's probably best to avoid the install instructions for applications, just link to the project pages/install instructions.
Bin or rewrite needed.

Truth. Though, in my experience, most articles are Ubuntu focused. Personally, I prefer Fedora but in most cases instructions are as easy as substituting apt-get for yum.
I'd say put it in the bin. There are a million similar blog posts with much better info.

Isn't the opposite the more common case, like having to work with Windows?
Applies to just Ubuntu. Debian doesn't even have sudo configured by default, and most other distributions don't have apt-get.
Overall a pretty biased and poorly written article.
