Adobe AIR Linux Alpha

Adobe has dropped the first public bits in their effort to port Adobe AIR to the Linux platform. You can download them from Adobe Labs. Keep in mind this is an alpha release and everything definitely isn't there, yet.

Headless Linux Automated FlexUnit Testing Idea

When using Antennae or some other tool to run automated FlexUnit tests to Linux, it should be possible to use xvfb to create the display that the standalone Flash needs to run. With this approach you avoid the need to have a full X instance running while still being able to use the standalone Flash player to run the test SWF. I won't claim that this is any great insight, but I found a piece of paper on my desk with xvfb scribbled on it and I figured this was as good a place as any to record it :)
