As many of you will already know, we have considered a port to Linux for some time but the level of user and publisher interest has to-date been most dissapointing.
If you feel that we should publish a Satori for Linux then please submit your interest by sending your email to Linux@satoripaint.com
We would also welcome any recommendations you may have for potental Satori distibutors and/or publishers in the Linux market.
Thank you

It seems from converstaion I have had that more people would like a Mac port. This probably makes sense financially as well.
Linux is interesting because it allows people to use relatively cheap hardware (compared to Mac). The high-end 3d apps are all porting or have ported. But they are also porting or have ported to Mac OSX as well.
I am sick of Win2000's relatively poor multitasking and I don't like what MS has in store for the future with this hardware key garbage. I was hoping that BeOS would take off but that's not going to happen now. QNX is nothing special in my mind. And Apple won't port OSX to Intel because MS has them by the b@lls (they have given Apple a slew of cash). So that leaves Linux on X86, Mac, SGI and SUN. And I am not going to fork over the cash for either of the latter two.

I would also like to see Satori ported to GNU/Linux even though I don't use it at the moment.
Everything that I have read and heard about GNU/Linux (and the way Microsoft is behaving) has convinced me that I should switch. I'm just waiting for the applications I use to be ported.

Apart from Satori there are 2 products running only on Windows which I really would like to keep: Dragon Naturally Speaking and Net Objects Fusion.
A solution is to run Windows in a virtual machine under GNU. Another is to use "Wine" which implements the Windows API (Application Programming Interface) allowing Windows programs to run under GNU.
Installing and configuring all that is the sort of job which can wait untill there's a fortnight of really lousy weather in January!

Linux is still a little problematic. It doesn't have the best font rendering, is more difficult to administer etc.... But it might be worth the effort of the right applications were available.
