Hola Selma,

Lately, I hear a lot about Nix and its ecosystem. Good luck for your 
transition and interested on your feedback on daily use of GIS tools and 
softwares.

Regarding your (priceless) documentation work, will you still use 
Windows as a a reference operating system? Since most of QGIS users are 
stucked working on Microsoft's operating system, I think it's quite a 
good thing when then found screenshots and menus looking like their 
proper environment. And, to be honest it's a good thing to have an 
advanced user like you testing against a lot of QGIS features on Windows ;).

Regards
Julien
