In my opinion, if you want to do windows dev work this hypothetical sage foundation windows machine also needs MSVC. That's a fair chunk of change and more change for more users. It's really a *very* good tool though. It's one of about 3 programs that I'd say MS really beat the competition with. As for client software, I use http://www.rdesktop.org/ with good success. I guess it could be coaxed into working with os x -- I've only ever tried with linux. But, it's reverse engineered so there are a few rough edges, but these are mostly confined to more esoteric things like remoting the audio and stuff like that (which it seems to me, no one in their right mind would want to do anyhow.) -- Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
