In http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Beginning_dev_checklist, it is said that "you can download the files from your Dreamhack to your local machine, edit them, and then re-upload them."

How? I'm on Windows so I cloned the dw-free repo with Tortoise then edited the file locally. I also have Putty and a Dreamhack. I don't know how to 're-upload the file' I've changed or the patch I've made to my Dreamhack to be able to test it.

Sorry if this has been covered in the Wiki. I couldn't find it.

A: use WinSCP.

Hmmm, I am wondering if there is a kind of 'Linux Wine', meaning a mini-Linux you can just run in a window in Windows, just like I sometimes run Windows under Linux using wine. I know Knoppix, but you have to restart to run it.

There's Cygwin, but I haven't tried working with it. I didn't see any reason it wouldn't be possible to stay entirely within either Windows or Linux.

I can think of a couple of ways of doing this:

* the Wubi installer for Ubuntu, which installs Linux into an image in your Windows partition. Does require a full reboot; doesn't require futzing around with partitions. Just about indistinguishable from a "regular" Ubuntu install.

* Virtualbox + a Linux VM. Virtualbox is free virtualization software, and you can download pre-made VMs for most flavours of Linux. Heck, we could roll our own, made for DW development :) This would be a fair bit slower than Wubi or a regular install, probably around 70% of the speed?

I just found this thing called portable ubuntu which runs entirely inside windows and looks totally badass. No idea how slow it is but it sure looks like the easiest thing.
