I agree, the dicussions of linux softphones are got encouraging.  I'm 
sure it will change in the very near future.  There are loads of people 
working on the clients, just have to wait.  This is one reason I've not 
moved to a linux only operating environment myself.  The desktop is 
great, but it's the lack of real world tools that has kept me away.  I 
only run linux servers, and would never think of running windows for 
mission critical servers.
