[Slightly OT] Linspire Newsletter Discusses Linux Programming Obstacles

[Dan Shafer]

I've been experimenting for the past year or so with Linspire, a  
desktop Linux distro that has taken a LOT of the pain and annoyance  
out of trying to be a Linux *user*. I get their newsletters in email.  
Today's by Tom Welch talked about the lack of usable drag-and-draw  
user interface IDEs for Linux coding. SO I posted a note on their  
discussion board about the subject, pointing out of course Rev (and,  
in the interest of fairness, RealBASIC).

The article makes for an interesting read if you care about software  
development on Linux: http://www.linspire.com/

Also, I suspect one or more Linux mags might buy a review of Rev on  
Linux from someone more knowledgeable about Linux than I.
