Ellipse front-end on Linux

[Archimedez]

Have you tried running Ellipse 6 client on a linux box? I know that Ellipse 5.2.3 MSO screens worked fine, but the MSQ apps wouldn't run. What little I know about Ellipse 6 indicates that ALL Ellipse apps would run on Linux - anybody tried it yet?

Ellipse 6 no longer uses com objects on windows. this means that you can move the software after installing and everything will keep working (in theory). Ellipse 6 portal is written in the latest delphi version and if compiled correctly capable to run native on linux.

If the Ellipse 6 client is entirely .Net as proposed then in theory it would run under Mono on Linux alternatively if the source is shipped then it should be possible to recompile on Linux and run that

Interesting to see that may open some intriguing conversations
