Not really. Okay, we could but the cost would be so high (from a QA/testing perspective alone) that I would end up requesting that Linux support be dropped. What we try to do is handle the most common Linux issues, and operate under the assumption that if you're using any *nix variant you are probably "smarter than the average bear" (see 'this for the reference' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Bear#Catchphrases)) and that you can take care of some of these issues on your own. Maybe that's not a fair assumption, but the budgetary implications of bringing our Linux support up to the level of Windows/Mac (in terms of testing, tech support, installers, etc.) are pretty steep. We do get better at it as we go forward, but it will be a while--and probably a fairly long while--before we are excellent at it. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45372 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
