/takes off macromedia hat
For me personally, it's the hacking (Not in the lame-o website
defacing way) of the system. I mean, it's not fun or easy taking an
application that was never meant to be ran somewhere, and getting it to
reach a emblance of stability.
Sure, You have to rewrite symlinsk to over 40 libraries, beat your
head against a wall trying to decipher arachaic linux error messages, and
generally you loose sleep, you GF leaves you, and you fish walks out on you,
but damn, you got it done.
Trust me, it's a good feeling. I spent quite a bit of time
'sh0ehornin' (As I've come to call it) CF-Linux onto every single commercial
distribution, and some of the odd ones out there, and it's fun. Now, I'm
doing it just for fun, for some of these guys, they just don't like redhat.
As it is, I don't always succeed, take for example the weeks I spent
on FreeBSD and SOlaris Intel. I tried, tried and TRIED getting CF running
there, but, it was NOT going to happen.
Ah well. Sides, in the end, it's Fun(tm), it's Interesting(tm), and
not to mention, I'm sure someone out there appreciates having a set of
directions to do this, even tho is NS (Not Supported).
Not to mention all the Fame and Glory I get!

P.S: Anyone here going to the MAcromedia dev con in florida?

I know this isn't a CF issue anymore, but I have to ask the question....
If it is that much of a pain, why bother?
Is it a religious experience or something?
