I'm interesting in a Linux version as well. And I'd be happy to alpha/beta test BTP on my Debian desktop and Kubuntu laptop. I'm also interested to see if anyone has been able to get the Windows version of BTP up and running with CrossOver Office or vanilla WINE. I've gotten BTP to work with vanill...

Thanks!
