I DO NOT WANT TO START A if anything I would develop on linux and run in windows. Linux runs it's compilers significantly faster than windows, (so does OS/2) and it is much easier to jump around to different files with Linux. (You can't beat a well configured X-windows system, yea you can alt-tab between windows in Win, but still a lot slower.) I am also an NT user and will always use NT for my office type needs, but for development I have to go with linux. Besides, anyone that knows vi pretty good would run circles around someone with the same ability using a windows based editor.(except vi for windows, hehe, although I still have not checked that one out yet) Yea you say you can mouse to anywhere on the screen, a few keystrokes in vi will do the same, also you can go directly to a line in question, instead of messing with a scroll bar or page down) As for the kernel panics, I have had about 3 kernel panics in my 2 years using linux. I can't recall the cause but surely much less than protection faults I have received. Anyways, anything that will compile the fastest is for me, I hate waiting for compiles. I can deal with the rest. as a side note, (man i am way off topic roday) I have Borland 4.5 for win95/311/dos and was wondering if anyone has the 5.0 development suite? Is it really anything more than 4.5 that is worth it? (I can get it for 85$) Beides the java crap, I have no interest in that. Thanks, Chuck btw: not a flame to anyone, just like defending linux/unix. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
