Re: [guide-user] Linux Guide

Hi Wouter,

Not yet; I've a lot to learn about Linux before I can do that
(no GUI experience yet; the most ambitious I've gotten is a very
nice console-based version of Find_Orb for Linux.) I've never been
able to get Guide to work under Wine, though others have reported
success in doing this (explanation to non-Linux users: Wine allows
one to run some Windows software in Linux). I've recently moved to
SimplyMepis, and may attempt to install Wine and see if that'll
let me get Guide running.

It won't happen today, though, because I've gotten Guide to
understand the idea of communicating to ASCOM scope drivers; that
takes precedence over everything else (except, perhaps, getting
Guide to work with Vista). I hope to post a test version shortly.
