Actually, several Free Software projects have reported that release of=20 a new version was delayed by porting the product to M$-Vindows. :=3D) Further, if you are not diddling with the hardware (as you shouldn't=20 be), then porting to *any* version of X/Linux from *any* other should be no harder than copying the package (as in distro) to the desired platform and typing "make". X and Linux worry about the architecture. =3D=3D Buz :) -- Buz Cory of BuzCo Systems -- New York NY USA=20 http://BuzCo.PenguinPowered.com (Buz as gen'l Programmer) write to for FREE help with: Installing/Configuring Linux Getting started with the Ada Programming Language.
