Linux can have a very great look and feel, but need some work.
Where I can download Metacard ? Because if Metacard work, I'll can write 
software for Linux.
Because, I have opened a lot a bug report about Revolution and linux, 
but answers aren't so fast than MacOS bug reports.
I just want a Runrev without any nasty bug, and who work just fine under 
linux with all feature of the OS (most important feature).
Because, I like Runrev, and I like linux too...
