Oh, and I forgot to point out:
even if they do have a working driver NOW, who is playing catch-up ?
In the box in October 2000, there was no working driver for W2k,
but there was one which works fine on Linux Mandrake, even on 7.2
which was released later than the driver.

Yeah, I know, I had a look at C++ Builder. It's just a C++ wrapper
around VCL, and it doesn't fit that well. I stayed with Delphi as I have
no problem with Object Pascal.

The VCL with Delphi is pretty good for a GUI framework. That's about all
I need usually.

It's not Java though and has a few more wrinkles that make it

Can't disagree with that. It cost me £500 and that's with a discount.

C++ Builder produces code that is 50% slower than VC++, and Delphi.
Also, V5 was the first one I thought to be reliable. Previous versions
had some real strange bugs.

I've done some fairly amazing stuff with Delphi and VCL. Take a look at
MSE (http://mse.sourceforge.net/) and Virtual Ear/Jamma on
http://www.sensaura.com. All of these were done with Delphi.

I've just always used red hat. I'm not sure it's any better, maybe easier.
I tried Mandrake once, but couldn't get it to install for some reason. This
was sometime back and it may be better now. I've heard some rather nasty
things about RedHat regarding their fooling with compilers, and leaving some
security holes in the older versions.. On the whole though, I'm pretty
satisfied with Redhat..
Why are you so interested in trying different distributions? Sort of like
saying "I'll try the Buick first, then the Chevy, then Pontiac." There
really isn't a Caddilac, or we'd all be using that one, right? Let me know
if I've missed the Caddy on this one..

You did NOT answer the question...
And suppose you tell me why the GS Desktop uses ProDOS 8.
Now this applies to the first couple of versions of the GS OS only. But
the initial version of the OS, the one that shipped in 86... when you
launched the desktop, you started ProDOS 8 anf THEN the desktop.

The initial OS that shipped with the GS..
Boot the system disk... "ProDOS loader" starts and the Launcher appears.
Open the Desktop... ProDOS 8 starts, THEN the Apple II Desktop starts.
That Apple II desktop was a ProDOS 8 application.

No, it doesnt. The software prices remained the same or got higher.
Hardware prices got lower, so the software percentage of price actually
got higher, even if the actual price stayed the same.

It was actually a genuine question for a genuine reason. I'm trying to set
up a small render farm, the machines are co-located, but it would be useful
to see and control things from a remote location. Unfortunately, the apps
only run under Windows, hence the question, which others kindly answered.
