Hi,

this is a followup to an oldish thread, but still...

Unfortunately, it seems that there won't be a linux version
for the spyder, as the companies policy forbids
to cooperate with "OpenSource solutions"
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/openicc/2007q4/001026.html

So to me the message is very clear:
  "Do not buy ColorVision products"
(if you intend to use the stuff under linux...)

In the (longer) thread, the Huey is discussed to be the
most interesting alternative (its support is in ArgyllCMS V0.70 Beta 7
and LProf/CVS and thus very recent).
((What is not clear to me is whether the
"Pantone huey Pro" makes a difference to the "Pantone huey Pro"
when used under linux ...))

Best, Arnd
