Paul,

I just wanted to let you know that both V2.0b101 and 
V2.0b102 work reasonably well when run under Kubuntu 10.04 
using Wine (the Windows emulator).

I have been using AP in this manner for the last month or 
so.  AP does a few quirky things in this environment 
(occasionally areas don't repaint, and it has a habit of 
going into the background when I open a new plan window), 
but it basically works.  I can access all the catalogs, 
build observing plans, and enter observations.  All the 
observations appear to be logged correctly (confirmed by 
examining extracts of the observation database).  Plans 
created under Linux/Wine work fine when I re-open them with 
AP running under Windows.

Just wanted to pass this along in case you have users 
besides me who prefer Linux.

Igor
