Okay, what in general over the 100s of Linux distributions is the same? I'm probably not a good enough programmer, but I want to get a project started to replace TurboTax and I like the idea of making an open source framework for it. Ideally, this program should only need X and a gui toolkit that has been around since a long time ago. It should work if you are using TWM or FVWM or ICEWM and not be gnome or kde dependent. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
