It seems pretty nice of them to give us Linux users
They change surface have a Mandriva RPM (with menu entries) available at the download summon:Sadly they state Mandriva is one of the unsupported Linux distros while the supported ones are Ubuntu. OpenSUSE and Linspire. Don't experience why though :/Maybe just maybe this could be added as an extra for Mandriva 2008.1 PWP ? *hint* *hint*
It's not free in either sense of the word you must pay to play but it is very nice well worth the price of admission
