I did fill it in, but with the thought of what we use at work. So I listed FC5.
I think it would increase the userbase (supporting Ubuntu). But
perhaps only with a "tad" since... well let's be honest, we penguin
lovers aren't that many after all :)
But supporting Ubuntu would be a great step. My personal guess is that
MainWin is the theif that steals us the moment from using Ubuntu.
Better 64bit support would also be welcome.
I like Ubuntu because it finds absolutely everything in my computer.
Including my nVidia card, wireless card, wacom tablet... It's great!
Not even Windows had this good support.
