Title: Wish List: a Linux version Post by: Gian on April 03, 2010, 05:27:08 PM hello All,
here's my 2c for a wish list: a native Linux version. I try to avoid Win as a plague, but just can't do without Qimage. Currently, I have a virtual XP that runs under Ubuntu Karmic, and that's how I use Qimage and the very few applications I need that won't run natively. I have other commercial photo applications that run under Linux, such as Bibble for raw developing, and Vuescan for scanning, so it's not a money problem and neither a crusade for open source software. I do appreciate the open source concept but I understand that software developer can have different points of view. So, when shall we have a .deb package for Qimage? ;-) ciao, -Gian Title: Re: Wish List: a Linux version Post by: Gian on December 08, 2010, 01:50:35 PM hi Ryan,
I stay on Ubuntu 10.04 because it's a LTS (Long Time Support) release. My notebook has 4 GB of RAM. It's true it can run with very little, but if you give it tons of RAM it will use it all, with no limitations. I have a Linux workspace with open Firefox, Thunderbird, Openoffice, and a Windows workspace with Adobe Lightroom and Qimage. The virtual XP is given 1.6GB of RAM, and since I don't go on the net, no antivirus is needed. The overall performance is very good. |
