I see that Linux has two entries in the platform tables. It is listed under UNIX (which is not strictly correct) with the SDL backend and has its own entry with a X11/OSS audio backend. I find this a bit confusing. First is this true there are two different backends that are still supported for Linux? And if this is true, shouldn't the two backends be listed for the Linux entry rather than list Linux twice with two different backend? Or maybe list Linux twice on its own rather than having it once on its own and once with UNIX?

:I rectified the [[Linux]] port page, this should clear things up, I hope. As it stands, I would also opt to change the name from Linux to X11 or something different. -- [[User:Lightkey|Lightkey]] 23:10, 23 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
