Well, seems to me there is another app that makes me happy. Linux seems to steadily working forwards to become a true OS for all, not just the tech people.
The only things I am still missing a good 2d vector program a la Illustrator or Freehand, a port of Dpaint(Amiga that was a computer and true MM OS) maybe a authoring app a la Director and Flash and easier methods to install and update and I will never go back to Windows. I think I need to start learning to code for Linux and help out instead of just asking for more.....
any good links to learn coding for Linux platform (had some experiences with Java ages ago on Win) let me know.....
Thank you for you well founded opinion. I must say that if you have read my piece you could have known that I am not stating any opinion, but merely ask for any advice and tips on entering the Linux and Open Source world. People as yourself, don't work towards acceptance of Open Source (on the desktop or in the world of multimedia professionals) and are certainly not helping out in any way, please do not post anything if you haven`t something constructive to say.
He Slashdot people,
I have been wondering about multimedia and Open Source, Linux etc for quit some time. Remember BeOS which should result in an operating system designed for the multimedia professional, well I have been wondering how much is available for the multimedia professional in the Open Source, Linux,etc community. Especially after this news. I mean I do browse through Freshmeat et al, but I don`t have the impression that there are many professional multimedia programs available. To give an example is there a software package which allows me to author cd-roms for the Windows/Mac (...I know...*sigh*) platform, something in the line of Director or Flash?
If there are programs which allow me to create professional multimedia on a Linux machine, which can be used on a Windows/Mac platform I will definately abolish Windows and use Linux for all my work and not just for my server.
Any information about professional creation of multimedia is very much appreciated and can be sent to bwijers@bdisfunctional.net
What about using the P2P networks for transport means of intelligent agents. Everybody has its own agent hopping from client to client in search of data and when it has the data it will return to the owner........leaves a hell of a lot of thinking about security issues, but would be cool....
