In my opinion, if you are developing for a Linux deployment on Windows it's easier to use VirtualBox to host a Linux OS.
(That goes out the window if you are talking about performance testing of course.)
- rbanffy 15y agoMy first corporate issued laptop wasn't beefy enough to run Linux under a VM. Besides, it's convenient to have everything under one file space (moving things to and from the VM tends to be a pain - and if you get your email on Windows, important files will be, more often than not - on the wrong side). Add to that the fact Cygwin gives Windows a bunch of nice tools, langauges and a decent shell and windowed console.
