Where's the Linux version of Kerika

We haven't released a Linux version yet of Kerika, but it's not for lack of trying...

I have been playing with a bunch of different installation programs, and haven't finished deciding which is the best one yet. (And I would love to get suggestions!).

Also, I am having some trouble testing Kerika on my Centos Linux installation at home. The double-click operation, which is essential for Kerika, doesn't seem to work quite right: about 90% of the time the double-click doesn't get recognized properly by the application. I can't figure out why: whether my mouse settings are bad, whether my hardware is crappy (I am running Centos on a dual-partitioned HP desktop that is really, really low-end), or whether there is a Kerika bug.

When I get some spare time next week I am going to try running Ubuntu as a virtual OS on my Mac, using Parallels, and see if I get better hardware performance which should help eliminate hardware as a potential source of trouble. Also, it might help eliminate Centos as a potential source of problems. All of this assumes, of course, that running Ubuntu on a Mac using Parallels doesn't introduce its own set of hassles...
