I don't know RunRev's position, but for myself I see Linux as a
challenging beast with two heads: one head speaks loudly and generates
a lot of buzz value, but the other head tells me its desktop users are
relatively few and only a small percentage of those like paying for the
software they use.
On my side, supporting Linux is a checkbox and an installer and I still
don't bother.
On RunRev's side the committment is much more extensive, and it remains
to be seen how directly profitable it is.
