This may not necessarily be appropriate on an Abi list, but since so many of you use Linux, I'd thought I'd ask.
I've been thinking recently of trying Linux as I've grown more dissatisfied with MS-Windows and the MS attitude behind it. Yet, the one thing that holds me back is seeing how much difficulty many of the Linux Abi users have installing and using Abi on their systems. I realize that Abi is still pre-release, but I haven't had nearly the difficulties with the Windows version as I have read from many of you concerning the Linux versions. I read of tarballs and rpms and dependencies and other things I have never heard of. Is this normal Linux stuff or is it unique to the early nature of Abi. Is there really that much difference between different Linux distributions that Abi would work fine on one and not on others? If so, how does any given Linux user know if a new application will work with his particular flavor? Not trying to clog up the Abi list with a Windows-Linux debate - as I'm sure many of you have strong feelings - so please feel free to respond to me privately and off-list.
