> So anyone seeing clients asking for Linux support?

The clean portability between Windows, Mac and Linux is a big selling
point with some clients. Many people see that there is the possibility
of a mass movement (*) to linux so knowing they are ready is a selling
point for flash.

Well it was as of Flash 6. The fact that Macromedia managed to buck the
trend and give progressively worse linux support for Flash 7 and Flash 8
has made Flash less attractive.

Video kiosks is another area where linux is attractive: if you are
rolling out 10 units then you don't care about paying for Windows
licenses. But if you are rolling out 20,000 units suddenly linux is
making you a lot of money.
