Re: Will applications that run on v9.3 run on v10?

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. 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.

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.

Thanks again.

Pat
