The fact is that Linux, due to everything being open sourced, is attracting new developers. Proprietary UNIX isn't going away, because we all want something backed by a real company, and not subject to the latest fads in open source development. But if someone wants to write an application right now, the best thing they can do is write it so it will work on Linux AND the various proprietary UNIXes. But if they do take a shortcut, shouldn't they take the shortcut that works on Linux and breaks the UNIXes, and not the other way around? I'm not advocating taking shortcuts, but sometimes portability isn't worth it for the developer. It's easier to say "sorry, $APP doesn't run on $YOUR_FAVORITE_UNIX" than it is to deal with the bugs that come from porting it. Where does it end? What about poor schmucks who are still on SunOS? _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff
