If you look down at the bottom of that essay, it says (paraphrasing): "Now that I've blown your factual misconception about Linux to holy hell, and thereby gotten your attention, you should _also_ consider that IDEs are probably not the right approach in the first place: Despite the 100+ IDE options we can offer, please consider doing your programming the classic Unix way, and see if you aren't more productive." Sometimes, to get people to listen to you, it helps to hit their starting objections with a really big mallet, first. -- Cheers, Founding member of the Hyphenation Society, a grassroots-based, Rick Moen not-for-profit, locally-owned-and-operated, cooperatively-managed, [EMAIL PROTECTED] modern-American-English-usage-improvement association. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
