hi
Linux is a great platform for server style rev development. Currently
I'm researching & testing on Xubuntu, a variation of Ubuntu but using
the Xfce desktop which rev positively flies. I have used a number of
distros in the past, but I certainly don't consider myself a full penguin.
Aside from faceless-CGI, rev is great for building admin interfaces that
need to be accessed on the server desktop. Most Open Sauce projects
which talk to servers are web-based these days (eg. webmin) but with rev
you really do get the best of both world by being able to simply create
cross-platform results. Because I have access to & develop for the 3
platforms (pc/mac/linux) I like to try test my applications across them all.
Linux has also been the source of great multimedia projects like
VideoLan, which although has interesting streaming capabilities I mainly
use to play videos fullscreen on macs which don't have Quicktime Pro :)
It's good to hear a linux altBrowser is under development and I like the
altFirefox or altMozilla idea. Even better maybe rev needs to integrate
plugins the mozilla/firefox way, all the freely available code is there
(personally haven't verified this). Not many big players seem to release
Internet Explorer PC-only plugins anymore. It would allow us
rev-developers the ability to utilise web-plugins the rev-way.

alex
