Linux Gets Breath of (Adobe) AIR
Techtree News Staff, Sep 17, 2008 1530 hrs ISTAIR for Linux; with everything save DRM support
Delightful news for Linux geeks -- Adobe has announced Adobe AIR beta on Linux operating systems. Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime meant for developers to create Rich Internet Applications that merge desktop with the web.
AIR for Linux currently supports Ubuntu 7.10, Fedora 8 and OpenSuSE 10.3 operating systems only; with GNOME and KDE the supported desktop environments. Additionally, a pre-installed Firefox is suggested since Adobe AIR uses Firefox's SSL certificates.
Though all features are implemented for Linux; DRM and badge installations are not supported yet. For full details check the Adobe AIR for Linux release notes.
