I have the full version running under WinXP and the startup version, Xara LX, running under FC4, 32 bit. It would run under the 64-bit FC4. If you read the Help section of their Linux download page you can see where they wish to go: http://xaraxtreme.org/download/ They have already made what they have GPL, so it is up to the programmers who wish to help get a full-featured Xara on Linux and Mac OSX. Playing around with the present Linux version they are getting there by their own programmers. Just think, this program would make lots of folks stand up and take note, with Linux getting more use in the graphic design world, and Adobe and Microsoft lose market share. Their Win version is so fast, so full of innovation. Enough said, by me anyway. <smile> Frank
