LINA goes open-source
The source code for LINA has been opened and released under the GPL v2. LINA enables Linux binaries to run with the appearance of being native under Windows, Mac, and Linux, without the need to recompile. The tool also provides a thin virtual layer that enables developers to write and compile source code using ordinary Linux tools. This compiled binary can then run on a variety of operating systems. For users, LINA runs invisibly in the background. Operating systems supported in this release include Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Mac OSX, Fedora 7, OpenSUSE 10.2, and Ubuntu 7.04. The LINA library currently supports C++ development. The company says that future releases of LINA will support applications written in any language native to Linux.

Is there a Linux only app
Is there a Linux only app? I'm not sure why anyone would want this?
