<div>I want to learn Linux, not crappy Windows anymore. I am not using QGIS at work but sometimes have time to learn something at work. it depends on me. As ý am also doing phd, trying to make thesis related works. The rules of IT department forces me to use windows. Here, at work we are using ESRI's products. I am using ArcGIS Desktop (ArcINFO licensed) from version
8.0 to 9.1, ArcSDE and ArcIMS as GIS user at work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for everybody who contributed to do the development of qgis.</div>
