iPadding around?

[Larry Snider]

An opinion from a list lurker...

I would very much appreciate further development of a Linux version of
Rev.  (And any other UNIX-type OS for that matter...)

!!(In fact, I would, more importantly, like the ability to compile
command-line programs!  I could very easily write CGI tools for the
web that would not require ANY plug-in.  Sorry.  I'm not a fan of
special GUI web programming.)!!

One aspect that apparently is not given much consideration is the
enterprise/infrastructure.  Not everyone develops for profit.  Some
people, like me, need a rapid development tool that can meet the needs
of the users quickly and reliably.  My company has zero Macs at this
facility but we have thousands of Windows PCs and many, many Linux and
Solaris servers.  Yes, Solaris and HP-UX are still very alive in the
enterprise arena so if there were a RunRev version available to me for
those OSs I would be all over it.

So, for all the naysayers who only want their preferred OS to survive
to mature development then request away.  You're only screwing
everyone else.  There's a whole other world out there to be
discovered/considered.

I've been a Windows/*NIX system administrator for many years now an IS
security manager.  That is where I'm coming from.
