develop a client/server application which is to be run on linux host. Should i

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.
