Re:Time is the solution, unfortunately (Score 1)

I just came back on friday from 2 fun filled days in Redlands, CA. Yes, I was being trained at ESRI. Unless someone wants to spend the time getting Arcview or ArcMap to work properly under Wine, a decent GIS solution does not yet exist under linux. as I see it there are two solutions: Arcview exists for Unix (sparc, HP-UX,etc..). 1)Someone needs to convince Jack that Linux is a profitable market. And Esri recompliles their source code to work with linux or 2) someone that is a more profiecint programmer than I needs to write a program that reads shape files and raw gps data.
