Thank you mr moffet, I learnt something. I was a linux geek a few tears back but now I'm way too busy to keep up

I am ready to purchase, are you ready to officially release this, I would like to see it in the store. I still need to solve the mozilla library problem

I posted in the general forum, when I try Help Topics I get "The Mozilla library required by the HTML Help Viewer is not installed." and User Guide does nothing.

Jeff,

I use Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and am more then willing to test the software. I am a programmer, so I can do some extensive testing if required. I currently run Beertools in WinXP via Virtualbox, which is not always the best.

I am looking into the help topics issue. Hopefully it's a simple fix.

If you provide your BeerTools username I can add the trial download to your account.

Thanks!

Jeff-
I've been looking for a linux-based beer program to try out. I am currently running Fedora 10 and 11 on a 64-bit platform and would gladly test it out! My username is Blaise314.

Thanks!

I sent you your trial license email. You will probably have to force the install since the .deb is for i386. So far it seems that it works fine on x86_64. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

I'd just like to add that I'd be all for a linux version. I'm in the process of building a rig now. The thought of an asus eee box + a bcs-460 + BTP makes me giddy. I would absolutely purchase it.
