An opinion from a list lurker... I would very much appreciate further development of a Linux version of Rev. (And any other UNIX-type OS for that matter...)
!!(In fact, I would, more importantly, like the ability to compile command-line programs! I could very easily write CGI tools for the web that would not require ANY plug-in. Sorry. I'm not a fan of special GUI web programming.)!! One aspect that apparently is not given much consideration is the enterprise/infrastructure. Not everyone develops for profit. Some people, like me, need a rapid development tool that can meet the needs of the users quickly and reliably. My company has zero Macs at this facility but we have thousands of Windows PCs and many, many Linux and Solaris servers. Yes, Solaris and HP-UX are still very alive in the enterprise arena so if there were a RunRev version available to me for those OSs I would be all over it. So, for all the naysayers who only want their preferred OS to survive to mature development then request away. You're only screwing everyone else. There's a whole other world out there to be discovered/considered. I've been a Windows/*NIX system administrator for many years now an IS security manager. That is where I'm coming from.
