Hello Marek,

Thank you very much !!!
I am very interested to try it out again.

So you mean that if I have a real windows partition too, than I am
able to run almost every windows program under linux without much speed
decrease ?
I have heard two years ago that windows programs, that are running under
Wine are very slowly. Is this history now ?


Just a question to the download link.
Should I download this files to start ? 
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/live-cd-9.1/

or can you please tell me the path ?


Best regards

Now Linux distributions are completely not the same products as they were 2 
years ago. Try SuSE, my favorite disto for many years. You can start with
FTP 
version (9.0) because it is free. However for the first time I recommend to 
buy a box (fresh 9.1). There are no major difference between them but box 
version offers books. In term of software they are almost the same. Also you

will love it because it is a good German product.

you find ftp version here:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/9.0

Pease read my message to the group:

1. As you know there are three options:
a/ have a native windows partition and Amibroker installed there. AB is then

launched by wine - there we almost no problems with it BUT you have to have
a 
windows partition :-)
b/ install Amibroker on fake_windows via wine - I coudn't get it to work
c/ use CodeWeavers' wine version - commercial but you can also install other

popular windows only software (MS Office, Lotus, etc) - THIS IS THE BEST 
OPTION RIGHT NOW

> What are the most important reasons for you to switch to Linux ?

Some years ago, as a student, I was developing Minix, the education
unix-like 
system - that one that was a reason for Linus to code its own operating 
system.

After some years I discovered that Linux world does have thousand of great 
software and all (or almost all) are free.

Also I love to have everythink under control. Distros currently available 
require little user knowledge about computers but if you would like to
modify 
config files manually - there are no barriers.

> Do you have a link with software for linux, also payable software ?

Most of the staff you get with distro. Sometimes some specific software is 
required than the best option is to find a rpm package:
http://rpmfind.net/
or directly by google founding developer's site.

> Thanks for your informations !

Please let me know if you require more info. There would be honour for me to

help anyone on this list.
