Not sure if the accessibility on this will be better under Linux. Anyone
care to give it a try?

See below.

Take care,

Dear MySQL users,
we're proud to announce that we've just uploaded the first Linux-Alpha build
for upcoming MySQL Workbench 5.1 for everyone to try. But beware, it's an
early Alpha release! It includes basic functionality like loading/saving
Models, import/export SQL files and a set of basic editors to model your
data-structures. A couple of features are still missing and the UI from a
lot of things is not done yet but its purpose is to give you a chance to
experience how WB will look and feel on your Linux Desktop.

We're releasing this as a source package and in binary form compiled on
Ubuntu 8.04. There's a build-instructions page available for Ubuntu as well.
For later releases we'll be providing more intructions/binary packages for
several more distributions. For more information about the MySQL Workbench
project please visit

        http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/

the official Developer Central site.

Grab a copy, test it on your system, and tell us your thought, opinions and
experiences.

Please don't report any bugs yet or submit fixes because the project is
still under heavy construction. You can find a list of stuff thats still
missing/not yet working correctily in 5.1 on our WB5.1 Linux- status-page.

        http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/?page_id=155

There is a demo model included in the samples directory, sakila_full.mwb
that should get you started.

Other Platforms
---------------
Work on the Mac UI will start once we have all BE features stabilized on
Linux. Same for Solaris and Windows. As soon as we have all versions on the
same level we will continue to add new features in parallel.

Have fun!
Johannes
