title: Pros and cons of CUDA on Linux vs Windows?
body: <p>I'm using both operating systems (Fedora 13 and Windows 7) for different purposes, but I'm going into GPU computing using CUDA C/C++. I've read about the Parallel Nsight plugin for Visual Studio and it seems like an amazing environment to develop in. However, Linux has always had a greater range of of tools and GPU supercomputers usually do use Linux. Anyway, I'd like to know the pros and cons from anyone whose used either or both of the platforms. In case anyone is wondering, it's a dual-boot system and I'm going to install a GTX 470 for GPU debugging into my extra PCI express slot. Please no flame wars...</p>
