Yeah. I was mostly kidding there. I think Mib is actually the most correct, that being real linux users use whatever works best for them.

The main problem with the philosophy of: "real linux users do something in a tedious and hard way so that they can have a sense of moral superiority." Is that they spend so much time futzing with making it work, that they seldom actually DO anything with it :)

I actually don't even use Gentoo myself on new installs anymore. It was great 3 years ago. It has since just become too bloated and fragile. If I had to throw my weight behind a Distro, it is incredibly hard to beat Ubuntu.

People who say CLI or "the bare-bones linux" are for "real" linux users are people who are trying to make it hard on others, and don't know the truth of the situation. People who hate Ubuntu, do not know that there's more to the distro that meets the eye, you just have to dig a little bit further.

Haha, it was just a little joke -- take a look at my user title. ;)

I had MPLAB working with an older version of Wine, but it's broken now.

However, IMHO it doesn't much matter. I just use Eclipse and run MCC18 through Wine.

I do all my programming on Mac OS X, except for robotics which I do on school computers on Windows XP (unfortunately).
