Ever be a PA version that can work on any OS ?

I wonder if there could ever be a PA version outthere that can work on any type of system eg Linux, XP, Vista, Mac.

Basically I would like to be able to use my portable apps on any of the mentioned systems. even if i had to use a different launcher for each that would be ok I am so used to using my system in xp and am trying ubuntu Linux out. but sadly i cant get PA Suite to run on it. and none of my apps will either. Has been disused before somewhere round here and I missed it.

This would be the most awesome thing then i coule have the best system and get on with the different operating environments.

so what do others out there think. it be cool if you could support this kind of idea as there must be people out there that have a pc at home and use a mac at work etc.

What an idea have a say and if there is enough support then i will submitt this to the Developers.

Linux apps are in the works (I think), but for now if you install WINE (Windows emulator) you should be able to run most, if not all, of the apps here.

I'll take a look.

I have not been able to find Wine on my install ubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop edition and because i only have a dialup connection the link will not be any good.

i need wine itself or know how to find it. searching for it did not help.
