Well, I've used BC for quite a while now on windows and have loved it, but I now have a linux desktop (SuSE 9), and thought, maybe I'll give it a try since I couldn't find a good compare utility on linux (as a good as BC).
So, I had cross-over office (wine) installed because I still need office XP for some things. So, cx-office lets you install unsupported applications. The BC install ran perfectly. The only remaining problem was BC not supporting SFTP, because my server only uses SFTP.
So, I got mindterm running by using the following command:
java -cp mindterm.jar com.mindbright.application.MindTerm
Then I found on linux that only root can bind a port < 1024 so I changed the mindterm port to 2121 and wa la! It works!
In the BC session manager, I just specify target as ftp://127.0.0.1:2121/blah/blah
I haven't found anything in BC that doesn't work, although the toolbars don't look very good running under wine.
Anyway, I'm amazed this works! :-)
