[erlang-questions] windows

[Dmitry Kolesnikov]

Hi,

Like Jesse, "I spent a lot of time fighting with Windows..." but then switched to Linux.
Everything works out of box, I am not fighting anymore ;-)

Just get VirtualBox + Fedora LXDE... BTW, If you are planning to host your results on Linux then probably you should have it at R&D env.
