[clean-list] Installation Windows and Linux

[Stephan Haugh]

Unfortunately I would like to do GUI (simple text window, but resizable,
with menus and so on,no graphics as such). Will I manage to do that?

I am quite happy with Windows, but for my project I need to have it so it
runs on both platforms. If that means running an old version that's fine.

I am thinking of working in Windows and occasionally checking that it runs
under Linux. I don't care what it looks like under Linux as long as it runs
somehow.

I think I better try and stick Linux on my machine and just try it out. You
have mentioned RH7.1. I will try something along that line.

Thanks for the hints.

Cheers,
Stephan
