However, I have seen this by IT people :before. Maybe it would be more advantagous to rephrase it as "Native :Linux Binary" support or something similar just to catch those in IT who :aren't bright enough to understand what that means. : :Jamie That wouldn't be a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all. If it were branded as "Native Linux Binary Support" and a small blurb as to how it works and why it isn't exactly emulation. Could someone with a deeper technical understanding of how this works write something up? Maybe get it into the marketing scheme?
