Look at it from the bright side.
RC2 is actually already history, RC3 is not out yet, as in cvs now, those problems are gone. The RC's are not the final product yet, so one has to take them as they are. To me, it is like that also, something new is good, another thing is broken and can either make you decide not to use it, or use it and live with it until fixed (note, things get fixed quickly around here).
For example, an annoying bug in RC2 was when you select stuff and right click to get to an action, the selection was lost (note : solved in cvs ;-) ).
I have build CB on linux based upon the source rmp build by Daniel, it was on suse 10 that I builded it. It was my first ever thing to build under linux (experimenting in linux for the moment).
I use CB 98% under Windows, but I am planning to moe to linux and to more stuff there in the near future ... I hope ...
kind regards,
and keep up the faith in CB,
Lieven
