in the past, I had a linux setup -- Fedora Core 3 at the time, with
DevKit Advance (and later DevKit ARM). As for an editor, I just used
vim. No special graphics tools, though I occasionally used The
Gimp. Audacity was used for sound, and Visual Boy Advance was used
for the emulator. I also used the MBV2 cable as well.

Nowadays, I would probably substitute OS X for Linux. All of the
other tools would be the same, but I would need to find a solution
for the lack of a parallel port on the Mac for the MBV2 cable.
