Here's one good reason for a FREE Linux version of RR to be readily available:
Macedonia is going over to Ubuntu ( http://www.metamorphosis.org.mk/eng_vesti_detal.asp?id=291 ), and, presumably, some poor students are going to have to learn programming skills xTalk / Transcript is a very powerful yet gentle introduction (and not only that) to programming I recently completed an MSc in Computers and IT at the "University" of Abertay, Dundee - apart from the fact that I learnt nothing more than what I could have learnt with a half-dozen textbooks and a month in the country - I was 'introduced' to programming through the awful and retro Visual Basic. I showed some of the students stuff I had popped together in under a tenth of the time in RR/MC and managed to successfully antagonise all the lecturers (no, surely not?). South Africa (not quite the same siza as Macedonia) is also going that way. The Universities should be humming with RR on Linux: after all the theory is that the University graduates will be the ones with the money to spend. sincerely, Richmond __________________________________________________ See Mathewson's software at: http://members.maclaunch.com/richmond/default.html _______________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------- The Think Different Store http://www.thinkdifferentstore.com/ For All Your Mac Gear --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
