Just Linux, going on ten years now. Interesting that you call it "inconvienent". Perhaps with the default window managers (KDE 3/4 and Gnome 2/3 all seem hard to navigate by keyboard, while Win7 is excellent IMHO). And being nearly all Linux software is uselessly named, I would imagine finding programs to be a pain at first...only at first though. But having find/grep/sed/cat/awk/gcc/git/vi/ssh/sftp/mutt all at my fingertips more than makes up for that. Plus all my music is in FLAC or OGG format. -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: http://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
