I was asked if ShoZu Desktop would run under Linux the other day ( Ubuntu 8.04 to be more exact). So I decided to try it, and after nearly wrecking my PC trying to dual boot install Ubuntu (not the installers fault but mine) I managed to get everything set up and working. The only issue that was apparent was a slight visual issue with a scrollbar appearing in the login panel but that has now been fixed.

What I did was:

Install Ubunta 8.04
Install Adobe Flash Player v10
Install Adobe AIR runtime for Linux

After that was all done I installed the ShoZu Desktop application. As the Linux AIR beta runtime currently does not support badge installs I downloaded the ShoZu Desktop application directly from:

So now using the latest Adobe AIR runtime you can run ShoZu Desktop on Linux.
