If you have read my blog in the past you will know that I ran all Linux for a couple years before getting my mac. One of the reasons I got my mac was the tendency of Corporations to build software for it over *nix in general. I understand the reasoning for that and I don’t fault it. However since becoming a mac user, I have considered running Linux again on several occasions. But as i currently spend most of my days (and nights) writing Flex applications, that just doesn’t seem feasible. Back at the beginning of the year I had seen a Chinese blog post that outlined how to get it running, but I heard mixed reviews on the topic.

This morning over my poptart I read this post by [nickgs](http://www.nickgs.com/?p=41) about how he is now full time linux and that his big concern is that he cant do Flex development. And in the comments [daver refered to his post](http://blog.davr.org/2007/04/22/flex-builder-201-under-linux/) outlining the steps to get flex builder running on linux.

I thought this was great that there were some English instructions and that people are having good luck installing Flex Builder on Linux. I know that with beryl on Linux the eye candy factor of osx has been lessened a bit. So maybe I will end up back on Linux one day.
