Looks interesting. I like the fact that the Linux version is billed as
the "Developer's Edition." I guess that's a definite step up the food
chain from being a $199 Wal-Mart special operating system. :-)

That's somewhat higher than I was imagining, but the truth is I don't
have a firm set of requirements, which comes from having it sprung on
you. It's very bad not to have requirements, but that's where I am now.
I probably need to push hard to get some more time, but how successful
that would be is open to question. It's not really rational to do it
this quickly, I'm just trying to figure out what I can do with what I've
been given.
