I agree 100% About a month ago i finally had enough and moved to linux full time, id always had a linux machine here for running apache / mysql and used it for various other stuff, but i couldnt handle windows anymore for development. cmd is a joke and cygwin just didnt cut it.
now im running ubuntu and only use xp running under virtualbox so i can use the Flash IDE to work with .fla's. id happily pay for decent software on linux, although how many people would I cant say. I guess its a case of the chicken and the egg, if the software isnt there people wont move and if the people arent there then the software wont move although what does give me some hope is seeing that Adobe have been putting some work into FlexBuilder on linux and of course the flash player, so its obvious its not being ignored, just not moving as fast as I would like. I was thinking that maybe this new wave of mini-computers (e.g sub-notebooks like the Asus eee and OLPC XO-1) that come with linux installed will provide a bigger incentive for the production of linux software. Thats the kind of computer that I would buy for my daughter (when she is a little bit older) here's hoping :) martin. btw, dont know what terminal you use in ubuntu but i prefer xfce4-terminal over any others. its worth a try :) Marcelo de Moraes Serpa wrote: > We want freedom and high quality software. > What do you think? _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
