You guys have made a great tool to develop with, it would be a shame to leave the Linux users out considering you are building it on top of Eclipse. It appears there's a market for it too; Keith and Darron just said they would use/buy it. I know other Flex developers that are toying with Linux as well.
Anyway, I'm a Mac user, for many of the reasons that people like using Linux. I'm glad that you have finally got a version of Flex Builder for us underway. _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
