If this software I have developed ( http://www.miltonstreet.com) was how I paid the mortgage, then, yea, I would buy the expensive tools which will save me loads of time! But it isn't, it is the software I develop in the evenings and weekends (aka my none core work time) that pays the electric bill. If it generated the funds to purchase real tools, I would purchase them in a heart beat, but it doesn't. Today, this program has not cost me anything other than time and that is how I plan to keep it! > And still refusing to go anywhere Linux where there is an excellent tool > for > exactly this problem that doesn't cost money, but will cost come time makes > no sense at all. > I am not "refusing" to go anywhere near Linux, the system is just too complex to make the port right now. As soon as the front end of the server is in a cross platform, I am am going to port the backend, too. The frontend is currently .Net, in the next major phase, it is getting ported to Qt to run on both the PC and the Mac. I am hoping/assuming that once I get it running on both the PC and the Mac, the port to Linux will be really quick and easy. So, all in time! P.S. anyone of my customers that runs across this post in the future, don't bother asking for the Linux version, if it does come into existence at some point, it will be for internal use ONLY. I simply don't have the bandwidth to support three different OS's, supporting both Windows and OSX is going to be tough enough!
