[Mapserver-users] Developing - Flash MX on Windows - against Linux environment

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I run Win2k and Win98 as guest OS's on a Linux host OS with VMWare.  So 
it could work both ways.  With either config, you could develop in your 
favorite flavor of OS and test with the other one.  I've had good luck 
with VMWare over the years.
