Hi, Josh

I'd really like to start using JavaFX. I'm on a Linux machine. I'd
really like to start but my options seem to be find a Windows or Mac
machine or to hack out the Java only bits from a dmg or exe file.

Is there any chance of getting a "beta" which doesn't include any
platform specific code for easy download. I'm particularly interested
in the Netbeans tooling. (I suppose I can build from source?)

Thanks,

WR
