2009 Development on Linux

[Robostang 548]

Over the past few years I've seen a lot of teams create great tools for the community of FIRST teams allowing them to use other IDEs as well as compiling/loading their code using their favorite flavor of the Linux operating system. I'm wondering if in 2009, with labview having a Linux version, if teams will be able to use Linux if they so choose. Even if a Linux version doesn't come with the kit of parts, can we get a CD ourselves and use the license code that comes with the version given to us. This question also applies to windriver workbench. It's technically eclipse so I think there is a Linux version available. Will teams that have used Linux to develop their code in the past be able to do so again in 2009?
