Back on March 21st, RAM one of our new community members, asked if we had any plans to support Ubuntu and Debian. We had not at the time, but RAM's requested did not go unnoticed. Obviously, Ubuntu and Debian are important Linux platforms. Curl already supports distributions for RedHat 9, SusE 9, and Turbolinux 10 and 11 so adding support for Ubuntu and Debian seemed like a pretty good idea.
Well we wasted no time - or rather our engineers wasted no time - and today we announced Ubuntu support (and therefor Debian support) for both the RTE and the IDE! That's pretty fast if you consider the request was made just three weeks ago. If you want to find out more about the Ubuntu/Debian release and download the RTE and the IDE just go to the press release.
Curl Announces Support for Ubuntu for Enterprise RIA Platform
For Curl, Linux support is not an after thought. We see Linux as one of three critical platforms (Windows and Mac are the other ones) and we've been providing Linux support for a while now. I hope this new Ubuntu/Debian release of the Curl RTE and IDE will help developers who love the Ubuntu and Debian distributions. Curl is the most powerful RIA solution today and I can't think of a better combination than Ubuntu or Debian and Curl for delivering a great desktop Linux experience.
