My Name is "Vinci" (from Phil Lindens transscript)

Johnny Ming: Davinci asks, actually Davinci and NinjaFoo both ask about the future short and long-term of the Linux version.

Philip Linden: Well, the short answer is, I don't know, let's see, the Linux version is available now in - I mean, we're doing continuous work on it, we have a person who's continually working on improvements to it. I don't know when it's going to roll up to the main download page. I know it's getting more stable. Yeah, that's another 'no good answers from Philip Linden' question. But we're definitely happy with the performance. The Linux client generally runs as fast as the PC client. We, obviously we're also supporting Mac. We have no intention to change our, to reduce our platform support. If anything, we'd like to increase it. I just don't have a date on when that Linux client will roll from its current Alpha status, but it's right there on the download page today, so you can get right to it. I know we've got a couple of significant bugs on it, and off the top of my head I don't have timelines on fixing them.


LOL.

More?

He really should have just stopped there.

Open mouth. Insert foot.

Install Wine.

Actually it's kind of refreshing for me, personally. My boss has every answer written and scripted for him prior to saying it in public, in front of the press, etc. It doesn't inspire confidence in anyone that his answers are so perfectly thought out beforehand. Quite the opposite.

Well yeah it's funny but what ot does not mean is that the Linux client is on their watch list. it's more like "Do we have a Linux client? Yeah we have. Next question."
