Guy I could use the bare SDK of course. I hadn't really tried it before because the Flex Builder Eclipse plugin seemed like a good idea. And there is *some* support for it in the community, I don't know how much. You're right I should try that before I give up.
"blame" Adobe is not quite right, "trust" is more like it. Watching Java slowly worm its way out of Sun's grasp to the point where its now more or less open-source should provide a positive prediction for the eventual outcome, but Adobe ain't Sun, but then Sun ain't either now. Does Adobe have the right corporate culture to nurture an open-source project? I like the way they are running Flex otherwise, but maybe I indulged in wishful thinking on the Linux support.
