You don't need virtual Linux since you can use a real one (and probably multiple users can share single machine if it has enough resources). It can be on other machine, anywhere on net. All you need is a decent TCP/IP connection - I have used it on 10MB/s... once upon a time ;-) > If coLinux was sharpned > quite a few notches(in terms of beating the crap out of Cygwin w.r.t. > installation), it might be a viable option. > >> Of course, still best hit is to convince FPGA vendors to start porting >> their tools to Linux. > > A rather quixotic undertaking! :-) Yes, probably in large companies the managers and not engineers make decisions, but maybe, if there's demand, someone will see competitive advantage in porting tools to Linux. -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
