Indie Software Dev

[Jon Buys]

Thank you all for sharing your insight.  I forgot about Moneydance and the games, those are very good points.  I'm finishing my app on the Mac for now, but I'll be keeping a very close eye on the Linux market.  I'm very interested in bringing a Linux version to market, but one thing at a time.

I've been pleasantly surprised today, I was halfway expecting answers to my question to be hostile.

Thanks again,

Jon

I have an ongoing conversation with a friend of mine about this, and I think that the free and open culture surrounding Linux would mean that there is no market for an indie dev to go after. He thinks that the market is here, am I wrong?
