That's good to hear.  I haven't tried avr-gcc on my Ubuntu machine as 
yet - partly because it's important be consistent about releases of the 
compiler and library, and using WinAVR is a very easy way to keep these 
things consistent.

I know this is a little off-topic, but perhaps it's of interest to 
others in this thread - what do you use for serial terminals, since you 
mentioned them?  I've only used minicom so far.  It works, but it's like 
a step back to the DOS days compared to Tera Term Pro on windows.

mvh.,
