Hello,  
I am looking to create a distributed array using both Windows 10 main OS and Ubuntu 14.4 OS(virtual machine on same physical computer). Both operating systems have Julia 0.4.5 installed. I am not too concerned about which OS would be the master. The documentation [here](http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.5/manual/parallel-computing/) gives good advice for a distributed array if all nodes have Julia set up the same way on the same OS but not very much information if you want to use different OS. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Noel
