Linux client, even without a UI or auto backup

Having a Linux client is desperatly needed. Even if it was just a command version with no UI, you have to do it all through terminal would be better than not having one at all. Even if you had to redo everything every time, and didn't do incremental backups at first. Get like a super alpha that basically just uploads the files selected to the datacenters.

Obviously getting a UI would be good, but not needed at first as most Linux users can operate fine in terminal.

I must agree a Linux version would be very nice. I'm not so sure I like the idea of a command line only version. I have a number of customers that use Linux at home -- Linux Mint seems the most popular. I don't think they would be able to handle the command line.

Is it safe to assume that if I subscribe to this thread, I'll hear about any developments? Or, do I need to subscribe to the duplicates too? the board does not seem able to group duplicate threads together, so I can't be sure I'm posting in the right place or that I found all the duplicates.
