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
