    and I see no reason to run Windows. Been running Linux or FreeBSD as my main desktop for over a decade.

    The only reason would be to make efilive on a dedicated device with more common and simple hardware. Just like Snap On does with the modis(although they use XP, which makes it more expensive). Not having to pay a M$ license will mean the product will be more affordable... Same thing as GM does with their TIVO boxes to dealers... They all run linux...

    Other than that... If the scope is to keep this a different hardware like V2 for a PC based connection, I see no reason to run Linux.
    You know I kind of agree , I don't want people that use MS crap tainting Linux , with the less than savvy user that use MS , let them stay there .

    no.. it's not free.. i pay $350/year for that privilege... Since I dealt with PCs fix and such, technet provided all the tools for me to test their software against a given hardware combination. Creating back-ups of pre-installed software to provide customers with full fledged on software PCs. Just like Dell/HP without me having to worry about licensing and stuff... It is also for developers. As long as you do NOT use the software as part of your business front or sell the keys, you are good to use it on pretty much any PC you wish. Albeit there is always limitation to the use, but... It darn works.

    Again... if efilive is moving to a dedicated PC hardware that integrates all of the V2 hardware in a single machine, I see no reason to move to Linux and waste all that coding time when we could get a decent Ford/DCX scanner...

    The purpose of tuning shouldn't require that you are a linux master tech.

    I've hated linux because there has never been uniformity between developers. Sometimes tasks as simple as installing a printer can become a REAL PAIN.

    If they are going to run a dedicated hardware for this stuff that has j2534 integrated or something similar, then by all means go linux, as it will result into not having to shell out $200/device to M$ which they can earn themselves and rightfully they deserve it.

    Other than that... let's work towards FORD/DCX we need a decent scanner.

    Is it worth the time spent on R&D for an OS that most people do not use?
    What about all the other issues that will need to be dealt
    with two different OS's running beta software?
    Besides Commadore support needs to come first.

    FlashScan V2 Bootblock V2.07.04 Firmware V2.07.22 EFILive V7.5.7 (Build 191) V8.2.1 (Build 181)
