"VB on Linux" is definitely proving to be a hot concept -- Phoenix will be included in over 50% of all Linux shipments world-wide. Since the release of Phoenix Object Basic one week ago, tens of thousands have visited the Janus web site and several thousand people have downloaded Phoenix. "VB on Linux" is definitely proving to be a hot concept.
The announcement last week of Phoenix Object Basic was one of the top stories on LinuxToday. Immediately after the announcement our website was so busy that many visitors did not get through. To make Phoenix more accessible we have increased the bandwith - we now have a (shared) 34Mb/s line - and recently mirrored the Windows version of Phoenix on WinSite. We are also switching the download protocol from HTTP to FTP.
In the last week we have welcomed Conectiva and LibraLinux as new distributors. The combined distribution strength of Mandrake/MacMillan, SuSE and Conectiva means that Phoenix will be included in over 50% of all Linux shipments world-wide.
Several people have experienced problems when installing Phoenix on Red Hat Linux 6.1, 6.2 and 7.0 With some help of the people at Oracle we have been able to post a fix for this problem on our web site (FAQ section).
We look forward to releasing the next preview snapshot of Phoenix 1.5 for Linux on our site towards the end of October.
