[Qgis-user] Newbie with request for advice

[Randal Hale]

Hi Art,

So I've got QGIS running on windows and linux. I haven't tried to 
compile file geodatabase support into my linux install (that's on my 
list to do). On my windows install I'm running OSGeo4Win - adding file 
based geodatabase support was easy - I just added the "module" and had 
support (I'm currently on my linux machine and not near my windows 
machine - or I would tell you exactly what I added).

My windows machine is running Windows 7 64bit - my linux machine is 
running xubuntu. I own a consulting business and have ArcGIS running on 
my windows machine. There's not way I'm ever going to windows 8. So I'm 
sticking with windows 7 for ESRI and migrating as much of my workflow 
over to linux as I can...as I tell people - A clip is a clip and a 
buffer is a buffer. So I'll do what I can on linux and when I have to go 
with ESRI I'll jump over to windows.

Now that I read all of this - I should really try to compile file based 
support on this laptop over the weekend.

Randy
