I don't care, as long as I can run GNU Emacs, have command-line compile, and don't have to use a damn GUI wrapper to write simple little test programs in Python, and Java. But I also want/need full hardware-accelerated OpenGL support, industrial strength C++, and 3D modelling tools. Perhaps I should take a look at OS X. We have a beta copy floating around the office and I've got a couple of gigs to spare. LinuxPPC looked interesting until I realized that a BSc in computer science and an MSc in human-centred computer systems wasn't enough to make sense out of how you install it... and I don't quite have my PhD yet ;) M. - -- Martin Howard | Visiting Scholar, CSEL, OSU | If you have to drink and drive, make email: howard.390@osu.edu | it a latte... www: http://mvhoward.i.am/ +---------------------------------------
