"If we can laugh what else would we do" I'd like to touch also on some comments by ajaksu: [ajaksu] I'd like to try hacking some form of Python to work in SketchUp (on top of Ruby, that is). Now, why won't I try to? I'm a Linux user and we don't get a SU version. So much for FREEDOM. BTW, some things in SU have encrypted Ruby code behind them :) [/ajaksu]
You CAN use SketchUp on Linux...ajaksu...thru Wine, but I know this is not good enough. I would love to see FULL SketchUp support for linux and I HAVE made my voice heard. I urge you brother to make make your voice heard also. Go to this thread and let your voice be heard: http://groups.google.com/group/sketchupsuggestions/browse_thread/thread/7c0c810b88ad4d5/dfabe1e01bab12b3?hl=en#dfabe1e01bab12b3 This is the reason...amoung many others...that Linux has yet to take any noticable market from MS. Linux could...If the Linux devolpers would ban together and unite to make package managment and portability between all *nix's universal, OR one great linux distro that the average dummy can use(ubuntu looks promising, but still has a long way to go)...compete with microsoft on a grand level. We have to steal the idiots from under microsoft's feet, and they will come crumbling down. But as long as a poor n00b installs his shiny new *nix system and can't even connect to the network to see the latest janet jackson "wardrobe malfunction", or fiqure out how to mount a flash drive, Linux will be nothing more than our beloved oddessy. There will NEVER be good support on linux for most applications, games, etc... Until people start to get behind linux and support it. Now you say, well i don't have time to support this, my life is too busy, my back hurts. I say stop making excuses. You DON'T have to invest your life, just simply make your voice heard.(myself and other dedicated people will tow the load). But at least get off your bum and do something. It's time to change the world, the hour is upon us, Microsoft is asleep at the wheel, the time for revolution is NOW! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
