Isn't that shit going to finally convince people that windows needs to be dumped in favor of Linux or FreeBSD? On home Linux I am switching to 64 bits now that most of it work fine. At work I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits and Windows XP 32 bits. For my embedded Linux project I decided to work from Ubuntu instead of windows. I wasn't willing to use colinux. My collegues at the France and UK branches use colinux, what the heck is that? That sounds like crap, cooperative Linux ... -- Tired of Microsoft's rebootive multitasking? then it's time to upgrade to Linux. http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
