Thanks for all the replies!
Since it sounds like this app (a finite element analysis code) will most
likely work in 10.1, I guess I'll just give it a try.
You ARE aware that 10.1 is not yet out?
My plan is to install
SuSE on a second hard drive (I have a few spares laying around) and play
with it for a while. I used the Windows version of this app a lot so I have
a good idea of how it should behave.
Yes, but if you have problems with the installation, you do not know
wether this is due to a difference between 9.3 and 10.0 and that it
can't run on 10.0 or that it is somethinge else.
In terms of Linux not being like Windows, I'm expecting there to be some
differences. But in general I would expect i to be more similar than
different (i.e. double click icons to launch applications and open folders;
click and drag to move things around; nested directory/folder structures).
Is that not the case? If not, I think it's going to be hard to convince Joe
public to switch.
What you are looking at is from a users point of view. The moment you
start installing programs, you become the system administrator.
That means more underlying knowledge of the system. Somebody who has no
experince with Linux should aknowledge that he has no knowledge of
Linux.
Linux is not another kind of Windows. If that keeps Joe Sicpack away.
then so be it. I am not in competion with M$.
