Hi Ahmad,

this depends on the tasks you will take on the os, i.e. if your unix software needs a thread-secure environment or contains very
system close code you should take Linux. If the software is very portable and you want to use your machine for standard Windows
application you could take the upcoming b20 cygwin32.

This is my view, no general rule of course.

Regards,
Stipe
