oBrowser -- Is there a demand for this?

[Paul Mulroney]

Hi $All,

I'm with Andy and Bryan on this one - Linux support would be valuable to us.  As new projects come up we're moving them to Studio 8, and converting to SQL at the same time.

However, we run Linux servers, and we can't use the Omnis web options in that environment.  Could there be a Linux version of Omnis that does NOT require X Windows in one form or another?

I notice that you can create "console" apps in Xojo for all platforms, and these are intended for use as services - eg run your Xojo console/web app as a service.  There's no UI, so you need to consider how to log events etc.  

Regards,
Paul.
