we need a project.

We need to get together and create our own distro! A Free Republic OS! Maybe even include a “Site Specific Browser” aimed at this site.

What can you do if you HAVE to use Windows® based applications? Are you out of luck?

I do a lot of developing of industrial control systems using PLCs and HMIs from various vendors; Allen-Bradley, Omron, Siemens, AutomationDirect and others. All of the development environments utilize Windows O/S (in various flavors).

Inasmuch as I would love to give Windows the old heave ho, unless and until I can use Linux to run these applications, Linux is little more than a plaything to me.

For an old tech challenged man like me, would I be better off buying the DVD version for $5.95?
