I don't use Linux myself (yet), but I know that this will probably raise some eyebrows...

*Firebat thinks..

I think i heard about this programs before.. But it isn't free right? On the site i can only find info about a 14 day free demo, but nothing about any prices for the full version...

EDIT: and it's only 32-bit so i will not use it anyway...

I think the price is subscription based... ($5 / month, 3 month minimum) but I could be wrong...
