That would be a very tough call, at the moment.  There is a great deal of 
hubbub and activity around various Linux flavors, but nothing that has 
really gelled yet.  I look for that momentum to pick up as more and more 
folks take the time to read their end user license agreements with 
Microsoft and figure out that they have, essentially, lost ownership of 
their machines.

In the short term, there is not enough Linux use to justify a huge effort 
to support that platform if most of your development S/Ware is 
MS-based.  At the same time, there is clearly a growing number of folks who 
are looking outside the MS bandwagon; and, I suspect that, inveterate 
tinkerers that we are, a number of piano technicians will at least spend 
some time working with Linux.

Hope this is of some use to you.

Thanks very much for your posts!

Best.

Horace
