FranciscoR Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I like Linux much better than Windows, but I simply can't change: Autocad, Revit MEP, Autodesk software in general, CYPE... not sure on Adobe stuff... now Ketarin... these don't work under Wine or provide Linux versions. Anyway, when you work most of the time in a team, as I do, decision has to be somewhat shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalker Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 For me pain is running Linux. Inventing a wheel 3 times a day just to make it work... Sorry, but Linux is best suited for my router, not desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appyface Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 @Stalker I "feel" your pain LOL Actually I'm pretty happy with linux, but I know what you mean. Having grown up in the 'command line' generation (mainframes with cards/paper tape, then TTY! wow what a dream machine LOL, some minis, eventually my first 8086 and CP/M OS... today IBM AIX) I use command line and keyboard far more easily than mouse. Each time CybTekSol is asking for more mouse shortcuts I'm asking for the equivalent keyboard shortcuts! LOL That said, I was not familiar with Xandros Linux until I bought my ASUS EeePC 1000 Linux last fall. Honestly, I could put Xandros in front of the 'light' to 'average' Windows user and they'd probably be a little suspicious, but not really know if it is or isn't Windows (dead giveway: open command, er, terminal window LOL). Xandros is so Windows-like it even hangs and crashes like Windows :-/ Which made me less impressed and it was replaced with XP Home for now. I will eventually return to Linux on that little guy because of battery life if nothing else (7 hours with Linux, 4.5 with XP Home). But I probably won't put Xandros back on... Enough... that's not only OT to Ketarin but way OT to FranciscoR's thread!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
