Can`t you install Apache & php & mysql on the usb drive, with binaries
combined for windows & linux? i do belive that you can make a easy
switch between the serv types by using 2 config files. So you will
have the same data in your database in both linux and windows..

As for the editor... try something like vim/mc/etc that have both
support for linux and windows(check out cygwin.com)
