Not naive at all. It might compile under Linux, but that won't help
because Adobe won't release the source. This link lists the UNIX
platforms where Adobe supports FM 5.5, as well as a few places it may run
unsupported:
Other than that, they're not saying (that I can find) whether they'll
ever support any of the Linux platforms out there. Can't hurt to ask,
though, just to let Adobe know there's interest.
