The question arises from a discussion on another topic thread recently. I'm doing a bit of research to discover how many geocachers users Linux rather than Windows.
Most of the GPS manufacturers make software and firmware available for Windows users, but very few offer support to Linux converts. The rationale seems to be that there are so few Linux users out there that it's not worth their while to offer Linux versions of their apps. But times are changing and Linux is becoming a significant force in the market.
Given the techno-savvy nature of geocachers, it occurred to me that this particular demographic might just have a higher than normal percentage of Linux users.
So, if you are a Linux user, maybe you could just reply with a quick post and also state which flavour you use.
I would have done this easier as a poll, but this forum doesn't seem to support them, so I'll have to do the sums by hand!
Any Linux Users out there?
