    I'm trying to find the best environment to develop a multisite/buddypress website and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for using sub domains. Ideally it would be something that I could run off a usb flash drive. I've tried DesktopServer, but it doesn't allow me to use it on a flash drive and I need to purchase the full version to utilize the multisite features.

    Thanks!

    You'd have to edit your local hosts files to redirect subdomains to your localhost version of WP.

    That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to see if I can do an install on Portable Virtual Box.

    Does anyone have any other tips for setting up a development environment for a multisite?
