Hi Helge, > > apt-get install skype > You are right, you find one point on the list, that is ported to Linux. But that's important! Possibly you started off with a list of things that you couldn't do with Linux. That list is shrinking while we speak. It is interesting that you should complain about something not working when it does, and apparently much sooner than you expected! > I don't say that you, Jan, should port any of theses programs.

Now listen-up fellow LilyPond developers and users: I'm not going to help you as I just got relieved from this task, but will *you* please port Platform Builder 6.0 to Linux, so that Helge may switch to Ubuntu? I'm saying please, but you may take this as an order! ;-) Platform Builder 6.0 is a beautiful piece of software which, when ported to Linux may greatly help Microsoft advance their dieing mobile and embedded OS solutions -- and may almost enable Helge to switch to Ubuntu. So, what are you waiting for!? Helge, to avoid burdening our community with an unnecessary load of work, could you please check if Platform Builder 6.0 runs in wine, on Ubuntu Jaunty? Thanks! > Does this mean that I have to use Open Source exclusively and have no > possibility to pay for a good software job anymore? My advice would be that you can and should do whatever you think is best. Personally, I believe that advocating, using and developing free software helps the world more, and makes you happier than paying for and/or using proprietary software. Sometimes using proprietary software can hardly be avoided and feeling bad about that does not help anyone either. > Yep. The OP asked for MIDI file generating.
