Linux under Windows

[barbary]

I see some Unix development coming in my future but I have realised that I no longer have any spare machines to have booted into Linux/Unix.

So god save me for asking this but can I have Linux/Unix under windows??

Does anyone know of anyway that I can develop Unix software under windows??

Best way I've seen is to use VMWARE.

VMWare

VMware
Cygwin

Thank you for your help. I have looked at the web page and this is exactly what I need. I'm guessing I can load SCO Unix as well.

Thanks

SCO isn't officially supported, but you can check the news groups they run to see if it's even possible.

I tried to run SCO UnixWare and OpenServer with vmware a couple of years ago and it didn't work. I talked to a rep at LinuxWorldExpo that year and they said they wouldn't be supporting those operating systems. That was with vmware 2.x, but maybe 3.x would work better. Definitely checkout the newsgroups to see if it now works. I just wanted to report my past experience (I used to work for SCO, and that's why I was interested in doing what I've mentioned).
