#146980 - re 'evangelism'
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I have no issue with Linux as such and have no doubt that the link you include is ,at least basically, true.

However, since you have refused to addres each and every issue I have raised re dearth of development tools for '51 developers (e.g. ICEs, SILabs) I can find no other fitting label than 'evangelist' as you keep proposing using Linux in an area where tools running under Linux are virtually nonexistent. However, were I to install e.g. a server (where it seems the tools are abunbdant for Linux), I would seriously consider Linux, however I am not in that field. All points I have raised re Linux tools relate to the subject of this forum: '51 development,

Should the day come when Keil, Ceibo, Acqua, J-pro et al will run under Linux, the issue will be a comparison of the OS and I have made none such.

However enamored anyone may be with Linux, if the tool you need is not available, there is no reason to compare to windows other than 'evangelism'. I recall a blatant example of your 'evangelism' when I raised the issue of '51 tools, you replied with a tretise about the glorious business tolls Linux had,

You and other Linux users can bitch all you want about tolls not running under Linux; however with the limited distribution '51 tools have simple economics state "release to run under the most widespread OS"

Again, since you seem not to get it I have no issue with Linux, only with the unavailabilty of things I need to run under it I will keep referring to your utterances as 'evangelism'
