I don't think so, b'coz linux and its usage in app dev domain is a vast area and it cannot be beaten degraded by GAE. May be in games domain and the pkgs like photoshop could besome exceptions, but as a dev. platform point of view *nix operating systems will have its own image. I have worked in linux and now working in windows platform, Still Iam starving for the linux environment support for my regular activities.
