Linux versions of software

[John (EBo) David]

careful... Realplayer was one of the early freely distributed software
packages to use embedded spyware.  I would be amazed if they took it out
for the Linux comunity.  Do you really want them repoting to whomever
they choose what you listen to and where it resides?

I do not.  I would promote any opensource project over this.

Today I haven't been able to find the linux version of Real's "Real One" (or any real player). Adobe's svg plugin or their acrobat reader. from their website (though I may have found it on their ftp server). If anyone has a moment to check and see if I'm just out of it today and yeah they are easy to find. Or that no they don't have the links easily visable anymore. If the latter I think we need to remind them how many of us there are. I mean in each of these cases I *know* they have a linux version. I just can't find them on their sites. Amd yes the fact that I've gotten them before lends to the theory that I'm losing it, but I can accept that. What I won't accept is if companies are starting to hide their Linux version to software.
