+1 (PPMC, binding) and ditto Pedro's and Rob's comments on "we should be proud".
I installed and ran some tests with the 32-bit Linux RPM binary. I had been using a developer build since Apr 4 (can't note the svn release number at the moment), and things were looking pretty good then to me. Today, when I tried to do an "update" to that, I did run into a few issues and had to un-install the Apr 4 version and clean install this newer version. However, I think this situation may have been due an initial installation problem with that older 3.4 install. I will document my perceptions on openSUSE in the revised installation instructions and hopefully some of the other Linux folks and I can work on what's what with the install. It's wonderful to see the outcome of all this work come to a successful conclusion.
