This is even more so for a effort like PetiteCloud that needs the widest possible user base to grow (the user base is what will attract apps which will attract more users and so forth). For the above reasons it is obvious that PetiteCloud *MUST* support linux as host or we simply are irrelevant to mainstream cloud computing users. It is likely less painful to do it now then later when we have more devices and drivers and such to have to sort out. Therefore I have posted a developer's snapshot of 0.2.4 with Linux hosting on the normal download link (don't worry the FreeBSD build still works fine). Take a look at the developers section of the site for details of how to install and test it. -- Aryeh M. Friedman, Lead Developer, http://www.PetiteCloud.org
