Hi Bernard, Great post! I (and I know quite a few other power RR users) are EXTREMELY excited about the future prospects for RR and Linux. In fact, I can't think of a better marketing opportunity for RR than as an answer to the very expensive QT cross-platform C environment targeted at Linux developers. Here's IMO why: (you probably know all this)
1) While there are a lot of programs for Linux, there certainly aren't the breadth and depth of those found on PC. Especially considering GUI apps. This is a perfect opportunity for developers. IOW, creating an app for Linux won't have the competition it would have on Mac or PC. 2) IBM and others are putting in place the elements necessary (both in technology and perception) for real contemplation of *switching* for corporate America. In fact, I believe IBM has already stated it's goal of converting their company to desktop Linux. Others in corporate America won't be far behind. Both eWeek and InfoWorld this week had issues devoted to the latest 2.6 kernel, and both are extremely favorable reviews....in fact recommending it over MS for servers. 3) RR has it's roots (as you've stated) in Linux, and both Scott and Tuviah have a great understanding of what *else* is needed in the engine. Those of you who haven't yet seen my Lindows offer...please check out: "A case for Lindows" http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit/Lindows/AnbspCasenbspfornbspLindows.htm But, as you've noted, there are some IDE bugs which need fixing. I've seen them, too, though I'm not a big Linux user yet:-( no time right now + I need Photoshop on Linux-- GIMP won't do) I would be interested in hearing your comparison of (the now OpenSourced) MC IDE vs RR. Plus, please do post to bugzilla. I believe there is a new bugzilla DB being created which should work even better than before. best, Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
