I'm not sure this would be a great idea. It looks good to say we support 90% of DX plugins (or whatever), but it might just disuade developers from porting to native linux binaries. You can bet DX emulation would be slower and less reliable than native Windows, giving the impression that Linux was slow and unreliable. Given that many of the respected plugin developers allready release for Windows, Macos and TDM, I dont think they would have a problem with adding Linux to that list. Not that there is an API for them to port to, but that is another matter... - Steve
