Alex Hornung has taken on a very overdue and very necessary project: an update of linux binary support.  His code is available for anyone who wants to try it.  Testing so far is working, but it could really use something complex, like Java with OpenOffice or tomcat, or perhaps Firefox/Flash.  Will it make it into the 2.6 release, which is potentially a week away?  Maybe – testing like the above would help.

p.s. we would all individually owe Alex a beer for this.
