Think JAVA, not Linux. Someday, SOMEONE will build a great MULTIPLATFORM
trading system and it will be in JAVA. Many Linux-based solutions are
written in C++.....fast, but totally non-portable. AND a "bear" to maintain
and modify !!
Formula One 7.0 from www.tidestone.com has a terrific, Excel-compatible
spreadsheet program.
It runs EVERYWHERE.....Linux, Solaris, MAC, Windows, etc.
Systems requirements: only 1 megabyte plus the most recent Java "JVM 2.0".
Contact Tidestone and you should inquire as to vars and programmers who have
customized it for a trading application. Why ? Unfortunately, you must know
Java to customize it.
