Adobe AIR on Linux: Call for Pre-Release Users
We've been working on new features for the next version of AIR (such as 64-bit binaries and .deb/.rpm installers for AIR), as well as on fixing bugs reported by users (reported via the Adobe Wish Form, via blog posts and on Twitter).
To iron out as many issues as possible before coming out with a public release, we'd like to invite users to help test pre-release builds. If you're interested and comfortable working with pre-release software, please send an email to the AIR Linux program manager at rahul - dot - bansal - at - adobe - dot - com with answers to the following questions:
1. Will you be able to submit bug reports on issues that you find back to our development team?
2. How many hours a week can you spend testing on Linux?
3. What is the primary distribution of Linux that you’re using? If you are using more than one distribution, please list.
4. Will you be developing applications on your Linux machine (as opposed to writing on Windows and testing the applications on Linux)?
5. What other operating system are you using, if any (Mac, Windows)? Can you compare the behavior of AIR for Linux with AIR for Windows and AIR for Mac OS?
6. Are you working on an AIR application today? If so, please describe.
Please include your name, email address and your company's name.

Wow, unexpected and this is a great addition thank you Adobe developers. This increased cross platform support is wonderful, Adobe really is stepping up its game compared to all companies around.
Time to go use it.

I run both Madriva 2009.1 x64, and Ubuntu Studio 9.04 x64 on my Mac Pro, natively on their own disk, no VM
So I use 64 bit rpm's and also 64 bit .deb
I would like to help test the new product, I love to tinker, guess thats why 2 flavours of Linux reside on my Mac. LOL
