Well, after several years of not really maintaining the site, it's time for a face lift. Since Oct 2005 I have been fully on SimplyMEPIS Linux [Link] so this undertaking has been a real experience, creating it with a combination of KWrite, Quanta and FireFox. OK, I still have the Windohze box, for full fledged MapInfo work, but I have had to use it only a few times. How is MapInfo on Linux, you might ask. Well keep that 'dohze box available, as all that exists currently is basically in the realm of "hacks". I did purchase Win4Lin Pro [Link] and I have not had the time figure out if the "jerky" mouse is just a tweek or if it is inherent, but it does make MI pretty useless except for simple database work, in other words you can forget major artwork. Dang it, I checked the link and now Version 2.5 is out....[looks around for credit card....] So Plan B, use TightVNC [Link] on 'dohze and run MI from there across the network [100mip now - Wireless Router with 1000mip is still a bit pricey]. Ok it works better on the mouse side but it's like working on an old 486-66 32meg, but it is useable. I have not tried CrossOver Office [Link] [commercial competitor to WINE a free install in Linux distribution] but they specialize in making MS Office work. Since WINE fails miserable, probably in the graphics/video area, I feel that this will too. Enough of Linux, but you can read more in the Secure PC Section.....when I get written. PLEASE, Please read the Legal Section before you download or copy anything on this site. I take that you have and agree to terms.
