Here's a statement that would have been unimaginable in previous years: Ubuntu has arrived in the Windows Store. As promised back in May, you can now download a flavor of the popular Linux distribution to run inside Windows 10. It won't compare to a conventional Ubuntu installation, as it's sandboxed (it has limited interaction with Windows) and is focused on running command line utilities like bash or SSH. However, it also makes running a form of Linux relatively trivial. You don't have to dual boot, install a virtual machine or otherwise jump through any hoops beyond a download and ticking a checkbox.

    So even they can make progress ;) Is the UI still crap and crashy? such that makefiles makes the day?
    Is there some kind of powerful shared server pool for doing the synthesis or is everyone doing that on their own workstation?

    Any preferences on DRAM types or is it just the more Gbit/s the better? I noticed that anything above DDR2 have significant latency times for random access when looking at the communication setup.

    What's a Vivado version?
