Qt is a widget library / GUI framework. In most projects I've been involved with our preferred language and platform determined the choice of widget library, not the other way around. Qt would be a great option if your are committed to C++. However it would be a mistake to be forced to use C++ just to use Qt. BTW: from experience Java is very portable across Windows / Linux for server side and client side applications. Of course you need to test as you develop on both platforms -- that applies to perl, python etc also. Outside of Linux/Windows you do have to work a little harder to maintain portability with Java. Getting a bit OT and religious for fedora I think... Joe. On 3/28/06, Lamont R.
