I still think Linux is largely a black box! For the moment I will continue with it but really I feel its complete overkill for a desktop system. Maybe I'm easily dissuaded but the multiuser environment makes it a real bitch to just run your programs and move files about etc. This is my third go with Linux and I'm not convinced it will be my OS of choice. I better get back to porting PLIB to OS/2 hadn't I!
Keep up the work with FGTools though as I think its a good work for us to have completed for whatever platform we run.
