Not to jump to conclusions, but NAI when they bought out Ballista initially
dropped linux support in favor of just NT and Solaris.  Now x mos later,
they come out with a version for linux (I guess maybe realizing their
mistake) and put out quite a bit of press on it.  Could this be the second
coming? Or maybe they'll just port to another OS.  

I guess as a disclaimer, my co has some affiliation with NAI, but we aren't
in possession of any future plans of theirs. It would probably cure me of
that foot in mouth syndrome which affects me now and then.
