Info WildFire 2.0 **Linux**

David Jones is correct PTC do not guarantee WF2 will run
anything but a certain version of Redhat. However, our
experience is that it works on a wide range of Linuxs, in
particular Debian and Suse. We now have many hundred systems
running WF2 on a Debian/Knoppix based distribution. In general
it is very stable and seems to be faster than windows.

BTW -- I seem to recall PTC communicating that Wildfire ran like 20%+
FASTER on Linux than WindowsXP Professional.

God knows that is a pretty dramatic increase, shame we have not seen it
more adpoted. I wish they would push out an OSX version... That
seemed to be the next logical distribution at the time RedHat Support
was announced.

Cheers!

Problem is the number of users. Lots of people asked about the Linux
version, but very few seem to have adopted it. How many run on Unix vs
Windows vs Linux? I would guess something around 15% - 80% - 5%
(depending on the market, country etc.) How large is the OSX CAD market?
Seems to be mainly architects.
