[mesa-users] Which Linux distribution to run MESA?

[Robert FARMER]

I have mesa running on windows 8 working with cygwin. However there is
quite a bit of patching still to be done, not to mention testing and
writing documentation before it can be released. So don't expect a windows
release any time soon. Also you need a 64bit windows installation which
isn't the default yet (i think?)
