Ah ok so you're saying Linux is BETTER than Windows and that's why Linux doesn't have to beat it. Only when used as a server. Desktop environment-wise, Linux has far more warts than the Windows GUI and lags considerably in convenience features. Moreover, the most important bash shell features like command line completion as well as the powerful GNU tools are now almost all available freely for Win32, greatly reducing Linux's lead in this area. > hrmm leanux-zilot? who me? you are talking to the wrong guy > to those who have known me personally knows that I am not > i always say right tools for the right job So does that mean you use Visual Basic? =) > > The free tools you get under Linux are *also available for Win2K*. > > Check out Cygwin and MinGW.

GCC is of course one of them. So which tools did you have in mind anyway? _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
