And i am a student, and you know the FlexBuilder is free for students ;) But thanks a lot for your reply! I heard about FDT3, but it is quite expensive.

If you do need to run 32 bit apps on 64 bit Debian there's apparently a few different options... http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/534 Oh, and related to the original post, the new FDT3 also works fine on Ubuntu so that's become my new coding home while I'm transitioning between AS2 to AS3, still not too impressed with Flex on Linux (except that it's still running and not asked for a key, so that's saved a few hundred quid :) Johannes,

What would you as Flex-Linux Guru advice me for a 64 bit Ubuntu/Linux? What Editor should i use? I worked on Windows for more than 10 years, shure i played a bit with linux but not serious. Now after an System-Crash-Down with Vista, the "new" ugly Windows OS, i decided to work on Linux. But i don't find a way, to use my 64 bit System Power and combine Flex Development (e.g. FlexBuilder). But I have to develop Flex-Apps. (I am a FlexUG Manager, so it would be very distressing for me, if i would have to say:'sorry i can't programm right now..' *gg*) Greetings, Johannes Hey,

It was at least when I used it last. So I have no idea what the delay is in getting the plugin released for linux. Eclipse has been running on Linux forever.

This alpha doesn't even contain a working design view, so as far as I can see it's just an official version of the hack that's been around for over a year.

I can't believe I missed that little nugget information. I've been developing AIR applications on Vista for six months now, and hating every minute of it. I'm looking forward to firing up Ubuntu tomorrow and checking it out. Thanks for the post. Wow, that’s great news! I can’t believe I missed that little nugget information.

However, in the meantime I've set up a work flow on Linux that works pretty well and that I'm quite happy with. And since I don't need the visual design element of FB at all, I'll probably will not end up buying a copy of this product. I do appreciate the effort though...
