"The Linux client is running pretty good, I'm getting surprisingly good performance compared to the Windows version, but I absolutely don't want to release something that's half-done or half-finished. I want to polish it; it should come together within a few weeks."

Yeah, seriously. It's already working like he said. I don't care if it's half-polished. I'm sure it'll work for at least 1/3rd of the people. He should release a "alpha"/"beta" version. If it works for ONE person (hopefully me), then you know the pre-release of the LInux binary was worth it. I guess we'll have to wait until 2005.

I mean, it's like the FIrefox browser. It's a total pre-release for like a year or two and it works fine for a majority of the people.
