Does ‘Spider’ work with Linux? Are there any other alternatives to calibrating my monitor using a piece of hardware (not only software?).
Thanks,
Google suggests certain models, think you’ll need to do the research but going on…
Linux color management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lead me to
linux Colorvision Spyder2 - Google Search
Where I found …
Spyder - the good and the ugly « Linux Photography
Also any profile created on windows seems to be usable on linux, so guessing vmware would be an option and open up a larger list of calibrators.
which takes me to
Use ColorVision Spyder to produce an ICC monitor profile under ArgyllCMS / Linux « Linux Photography
this link has a nice step-by-step for creating an icc monitor profile with spyder in linux. i’m a beginner in both linux and photo 
cheers,
also feathermonkey, let me troll my own thread… scroogle seems pretty d*mn interesting. it’s crazy how used we’ve become to lack of privacy.
I guess so, but also I think many people forget the internet is public, as you probably noticed I don’t use it as often as I used to.
TBH when you read more its more sickening the relationship google, ff and the tax man have. Should ff really be made a charity when it receives what it receives from google?
Leaves me wondering without FF helping google along, where would google of been(Seems way more business like to me, than charity, to help development).
