It's right. It is no laughing matter. Six months after the plug-in
went GA for 2/3 of the supported platforms in Rev 4, the linux plug-in
is not only NOT GA, the alpha is not even there.

It IS a laughing matter because . . .
I think it was George Bush senior who said "read my lips";
like reading Steve Jobs' silence re Hypercard.
It is fairly obvious to me that without actually saying it
RunRev for Linux is on the way out . . .
Unfortunately Bill Marriott seems to have been the chap
who kept it alive; with him gone we Linux fans are without
a champion.
I turned up at the Edinburgh conference with my wife's old
G4 laptop, only because the money I had set aside to buy a
laptop to run Linux on had, suddenly, to be spent on something
more urgent. Now had I turned up at Edinburgh with a laptop
running some sort of Linux I would have been heavily
cheesed-off because the USB drives we were all given did not
contain betas of RunRev 4 for Linux; only for Mac and Win.
However, in all the preconference 'guff' there was absolutely
no information to tell me that bringing along a Linux box
would have proved problematic (the "truly cross-platform" IDE).
Perhaps I should have done that and then "sued their pants off"
as they say in the USA; however, I am not American, and, oddly
enough I like the RunRev people.
