I have linux running on my server, and I like it. Though I would not use it for my laptop computer becaus it is just not good for portability and programs. I use Visual Studio 05, so I need XP

Not good for portability?? What are you talking about? Any Linux distro is MUCH more portable than Windows xd !

Use whatever developer environment you want, but I'm sure there's something just as good or better for linux, since linux is more expert-friendly.

How can a kernel or operating system not be "good" for programs? sweatdrop

I don't get the BSOD at home...
My WindowsXP runs perfectly fine...

the BSOD is commonly made by overworking the OS and hardware.

If you're stuck having to run Windows (for whatever reason) there are still some Linux-y options open to you.

1. Use putty to connect to a Linux shell account (like the OP was offering).
2. Run Cygwin which is like the opposite of WINE. It's a POSIX compatibility layer for Windows.
3. Run a Linux distro in VirtualBox. VirtualBox is a free virtual machine emulator that will run your emulated OS at nearly full speed.

You can also use VirtualBox the other way too. I have Slackware 12.2 on my laptop but I need to write and test Windows software for my job so I run Windows in VirtualBox and it works great.
