Interesting troll. Windows sucks, so I used OS/2. MS forked (hmm) OS/2 and Win95 sucked. OS/2 died and what am I to do? Go buy Windows? I don't think so. This SunOS that I've been running at work is pretty nice, but I don't have a Sparc. blah blah blah, linux buzzes. Installed it at home, ran it alongsize OS/2 (dual boot). Installed it on the sparc. Eventually, OS/2 killed itself trying to install a FixPak; time to be immersed in Slackware. Time passes, install Linux/Alpha (RedHat). My new job now runs solely on Linux in the server room, I run only Linux at home. Something happens and I install Debian. This is only about 2.5 years ago so I may not be as seasoned as some of the other people here, but I've been administering unix stations since 93/94. Anyway, I'd like to write apps for Linux, as my job involvs writing code. I'm sorry if this offends you. Hate to tell you, but at least here in the US, there isn't a whole lot of demand for Linux apps. If we have a customer or a contract, they typically already have an OS, and that is most likely Windows. Maybe if the Linux people weren't so immature when it comes to taking care of problems it wouldn't be that way, but sometimes reality just comes up and bites you in the ass. Christopher
