	To get started as a developer, you will need to install and set up various programs. It's definitely possible to use alternatives for the proposed tools, though the tools listed below are the ones that I am accustomed to in case if you have any support questions for them. Another caveat is that [http://www.opensuse.org/ Novell openSUSE 10.2] is my main development platform and desktop system, so the instructions as-is might not work in Windows yet. I plan to eventually try the below in Windows and fix any issues, though please feel free to try it out and [mailto:thunderforce@moonlightdesign.org let me know] if you run into any issues. Thanks!
