Their software does not do windows. DOS only, so it isn't quite so
bad. Off the top of my head the only advantage I can see with Linux is
running a Windows window so you can use Windows programs out of the
box. The DOS system will not run Windows programs at all.

The Centroid part making programs - the ones you create to make parts - are
very small. What are the real advantages to running Linux? Don't get me
wrong. I am NOT, NOT, NOT a Windows fan or a DOS fan for that matter, but
it seems to me like DOS does a reasonably good job under these
circumstances. Where am I going wrong???
