I have looked at and tried going to linux for development but the=20
problem I keep having is a lot of my software is windows based . I use=20
tools like National Instruments Electronics workbench and couldn't get=20
it to work reliably under linux using a vm in the past. I had issues=20
with screen drawing. I also need to do it on a laptop and the one I have=20
only has 2GB of ram so running a VM is difficult.  I guess the linux=20
route with
a vm might be the way to go but I can't do it right now with my laptop=20
and that is one of my favorite development computers.  Maybe when I get=20
more money I can get a better one and move to linux.

How is mplabx working in linux ? I tried it on a desktop and could never=20
get it to see the pickit 3.
   A list of programs that people are using under linux for development=20
might help too .

Thanks
Mark
