It was actually good timing because I knew they were coming out with Linux support with version 3 and now its finally here

I know there are some good open source tools out there and this is really the first thing I can remember buying for years, but for me it was well worth it.
I imagine it sounds like I work for the company, but I really don't. I just really love Beyond Compare.
It is $30-$50 dollars (depending on standard or pro) but its a good price for what you get.

Beyond compare was/is a GREAT tool! I remember using it back in the NT 4.0 days when I was doing script based unattended OS installs. I've since found Meld for Linux (in the repos) which is a whole lot like beyond compare, but I think it has a few things about it that were implemented a bit better IMO, at least better than the versions of B.C. that I remember. If you haven't seen it yet, you might pull it down and let me know what you think.
Nice to hear from someone else who got a lot of use out of this tool!
