survey of apps wanted on Linux

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

Thanks, Rebecca.
I didn't know about this and I am using SuSE (at home). SuSE is owned by Novell.

I have been trying to use FM on Linux over CrossOver, but it seems to
have its limits. I hope Linux users (of whatever distro) will go and
spend a minute or two adding their requests for FM being supported by
Linux (or vice versa).

The vendors who create those products need to hear about your needs, but they need more than one or two requests to make it worth their investment.

We'll monitor the submissions to see what the most popular requests are, and do what we can to nudge the vendors in that direction. Together, your voices will count for more than they would separately.
