There was rumor of allowing some use of AIR for Linux as part of the development kit but not actually having a production version... honestly, not much ever came of it. For flexunit we just run in a virtual frame buffer so we can be sort of headless. I had a prototype running on tamarin, which is great for business logic, but most people eventually try to test things that inherit from the UI layer of flash... so it becomes useless
