hi Aaron,

I was curious about this statement:

Do you still do that with Ubuntu?  Do you still install a lot of 
developer software just to try it out?   There are two different 
questions that spring to mind:

a) Is it true that you still get as much developer software that you 
*can* try on Ubuntu as you did for Windows?

b) Assuming not: Do you think that if you installed the same volume on 
Windows, you would've still needed to reinstall every 9 months?

What about iNav?  RDi?  Are you able to do that?  Or are you using 
Mihael's tools instead?
