I have access to reasonable Linux machines, and not to any Windows boxes. For most applications, Linux does everything I need, and in some areas it is obviously, at least for my purposes, superior to Windows. Photo editing may be the exception; that's what I'm trying to discover. > Do you believe that software developers arent't entitled to profit and > some protection of their intellectual property? No, but I believe that for much software development, you get better results with an open model, where people publish their work for others to criticise and build on. To me, commercial secrecy in software seems much like the secrecy military requirements impose on nuclear science. It may be necessary, but it is obviously bad for the science. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
