Hi all,


A friends got a boat & said friend is thinking of going electronic with 
the charts. The dedicated bits of equipment aren't desired (or 
affordable) with a laptop and or a pda being multifunctional. The 
software is always a. MS Windows only & b.silly money AFAIK :(
Linux based 'Autoroute' type programs exist but has anyone experience of 
marine software?
Googling brings up a dead link to one Linux offering which is some 2/3 
years dated.
I guess Wine is an option but apparantly some of these (M$) based 
programs use 'dongol's(?) which may cause a problem?
Has anyone broken away from the flock and tried something different?
(i.e. non M$ based & therefore stable...)


Cheers,
Mark.
