Well i was up at 5:30 this morning and installed Qt SDK on my windows lap top as a first pass and managed to build the first examples in C++-GUI-Programming-with-Qt-4-1st-ed.pdf before i had to head out to work. So ive started looking.

Before i can do anything on my Linux box im gonna have to do some work on it. As its previously only been used for mythTV and i've only got about 100M left in the root partition
