It's NOT on Linux. It's on 3 specific distribution versions of Linux. > Fedora Core 8, Ubuntu 7.10, openSUSE 10.3 > From http://www.adobe.com/products/air/systemreqs/ Ubuntu 7.10 isn't the newest version, neither is it a Long Term Support version, support for 7.10 will be terminated in April 09[1]. This rules out most Ubuntu users who will not be on this version. The newest version of Ubuntu is 8.10[2] (2 versions newer than 7.10). Fedora Core is now up to version 10[3], not version 8. openSUSE is now at version 11.1[4]. Additionally it doesn't run on all CPU architectures Linux (or even Ubuntu) supports. To say AIR supports Linux is very misleading. It supports an old version of 3 distros on a specific CPU architecture. Did the BBC not bother reading the release notes? Or is it hoping that no one else would? If so, tough luck, I read them!!! When is the actual platform neutral iPlayer coming out?
