i need some advise on linux software development on windows environment. Im not very familiar with linux, so my primary OS is Windows XP, im planning to develop a client/server application which is to be run on linux host. Should i use cygwin? and if so which D compiler should i use.
thx.

I use VirtualBox.

thx, im checking out virtualbox, i has a Ubuntu linux installed (wubi) but kinda hard to work when you code the server app on linux and client to be run on windows.

What runtime library are you using? With Tango, I'm pretty certain you can use the same code almost identically on both platforms. You just have to compile it twice. (oh..and probably add some code so it runs as a daemon.)

yes, its a daemon app on linux host, im checking out prebuilt vmware. so which linux distro (as a virtual guest OS) more suitable for my development. should i use DSL or debian-variants.
