Enrique , Hi. I asked Elluminate support, their reply is copied below. I don't have a way to personally check if it works, but I hear that it does. I hope Linux users get the same level of functionality as other platforms. Derrick's been trying to give us some tools to work with for a while, we were critical about his first suggestion (Windows only... it worked fine for Windows and his team had put a lot of effort into the thing) so it's good he's found something that hopefully works for most platforms. Appreciate Derrick's perseverance in trying to give us these tools.
