If an OS vendor says "for developers" I interpret that to mean one of two things: either people who are actively developing the OS or people who are developing third party software. The first group might use it all the time, with the expectation that when something doesn't work they can fix it themselves. The second would only use it to make sure that the software they are developing isn't broken by recent changes, and it would likely be installed only on a separate testing machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Shorewall-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-devel
