Re: FM on Linux - Reply

["Craig Ede" <craig.ede@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm an S.u.S.E. fan myself, tho' I run both that and RedHat.

S.u.S.E. comes with lots of stuff that isn't included on Red Hat, including xemacs. Latest version (6.2) is available around here at $29.95 for 6 disks and installs with similar ease as Red Hat (i.e. you have to know your hardware a bit).

I suggest that somebody set up a web site to take contact info from Framers and others who would *buy* Linux Framemaker so that Adobe can see what kind of interest there is. Don't expect freeware; for my money this is a better product on UNIX that on the Win or Mac platforms -- tho' I eagerly await OSX on those G4s.

Best,

Craig

Red Hat is no worse (maybe even easier) than MS Windows 95/98/NT
installs...
