Re: [omnetpp] OMNeT++ on Windows or Linux

Thanks Andras, Fahd, and Alfonso, for all the good advice.

Andras, I am now planning to go with a full Linux installation, as  
that seems to give more speed and development and debugging  
flexibility. Is Ubuntu the best choice, or some other flavor of Linux?

Regards!

Nauman
