Merko Perak over at Linux.com has a new review up of Bibble 4.7 for Linux. He likes it. The review is a little short on some information of use to Linux users--like does it use Qt or GTK bindings--but it probably doesn't matter too much: it installed out of the box on current Red Hat, SuSE, and Mandriva stock distros. Bibble claims all you need is X11, so maybe they're bringing their own widget tool kit to the party. Either way, It's nice to see a company paying attention to the Linux market. Linux--or any of the unices for that matter--is a great imaging platform, and it's a shame more comapanies don't develop for it. I realize part of it's a cultural thing: Linux users tend to be pretty dedicated to Open Source projects. As the platform gains wider acceptance, though, I think we'll see that start to change. But I digess.

Bottom line? Bibble gives Linux users a viable RAW workflow that doesn't require using dcRAW on the command line.
