I saw the post for a QT/KDE developer and I have to ask what QT/KDE gives you over simply using vi, make, gdb, X-Motif. I realize that someone has convinced the customer already to go down this path, but is this is a trend? What about the cost of business use licensing of QT? Why tie the code to KDE? Why not Java? Just curious as to what other are thinking about development within linux. Wouldn't linux go farther faster with standards that business and industry can grasp and have some confidence in finding people who know how to maintain their developed code? There seems to be to many integrated desktop environments to keep up with. Can I suggest vi, make, and some debugger(gdb,xgdb,debugger,etc)? Matt.

" There is a little truth to that. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
