This is indeed unfortunate.  Please reconsider.  I will lose internet
access in the not-to-distant future, and will want to avail myself of
your services.  Your release sounds like a good one -- I was planning
on downloading it this week and maybe making it available here. :(

As for my personal opinion, I would be delighted to see linux become
widespread enough that commercial developers might consider porting 
applications to linux.  Being able to get SimCity for X under linux
would be extremely cool.  For this to ever happen, a service such as
yours will be needed to fill a valuable distribution niche.  But then,
there are probably those who would scream bloody murder if anyone
actually tried to (gasp!) sell software which runs under linux.

oh well, all the best.

Jean.
