I got a little more context on this... things seem same as before, with Player 9 expected Mac/Win within the next little bit, and the Linux Player 9 will take additional time beyond that. Staff are working on it now, but I won't expect to see finer-grained guidance until the next milestone gets hit... indeterminate for me now. But it's still looking like there will be a Player 9 for mainstream Linux just a few months after Mac/Win hits. jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .
