Moi and Ubuntu

Michael,

Have been using MoI under Ubuntu on my Dell Notebook for a while now and the good news is that everything seems to work OK - and sometimes it is even as fast as a native Windows install.

The bad news is that there seems to be a usability/speed penalty around dragging and/or moving objects. So if I select an object in the model (say a line or a collection of lines) and then try to move them somewhere else within the model then I *sometimes* get a slowdown that is very frustrating.

I don't really know what is going on there - but it seems as though it might be something to do with Javascript. Am assuming in this config that MoI is using the IE Javascript engine?

And on first use it all seems to be OK but after a little bit of use it seems to slow down considerably - assume you will know (a) if it is a Javascript issue and (b) how to deal with it.

But other than that it all works as advertised.
