Hi Carlos, I did read through the thread - and even searched for the term "linux" in the flexcoders archive - and didn't come with any quote that was more specific than "a few months later". Anyway, I don't think that it really matters whether it will come out two or five months later. It's way more important that Adobe is putting real resources into porting the player and doing it right. Also, I think that much of this effort is a one time affair and consists of building an infrastructure for the multimedia stuff that can be used to keep the next player versions in sync with the win and mac versions. At least that's what I'd hope it to be ;)
