Cosmoe works on any of the standard filesystems available for Linux.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
I currently use Ubuntu Linux, on a standalone laptop - it has no Internet connection. I occasionally carry flash memory drives between this machine and the Macs that I use for network surfing and graphics; but I trust my family jewels only to Linux.
Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
I wanted to have virtual memory, at least as it's coupled with file systems.
In some cases we've been building tools that are specific to Linux for the desktop, and they only work on Linux, but I see two major projects that are wildly, wildly successful: Mozilla and OpenOffice, and those two programs are cross platform.
We've been using C and C++ way too much - they're nice, but they're very close to the machine and what we wanted was to empower regular users to build applications for Linux.
Cosmoe is nearing the stage where I would feel comfortable doing a preliminary release aimed at developers.
I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.
Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
