Actually, RunRev should specifiy which Linux versions they
support. It's impossible to support every Linux distribution
available... [Where is LiveCode for Puppy Linux?] ;-)

If RunRev do not support Ubuntu they are probably excluding a very large
number of current and potential clients using Linux.
System requirements for each platform are noted here, under the section
"Platforms Supported":
<http://www.runrev.com/products/livecode/features-table/>
For Linux:
Create native executables for 32-bit installation, or a
64-bit Linux distribution that has a 32-bit compatibility
layer, 2.4.x or later kernel, X11R5 or later, glibc 2.3.2
or later, gtk/gdk/glib (optional – required for native
theme support), pango/xft (optional – required for pdf
printing, anti-aliased text and unicode font support),
lcms (optional – required for color profile support in
JPEGs and PNGs), gksu (optional – required for elevate
process support)
In my experience, aside from the IDE bug with the Dictionary it seems to
run very well on Ubuntu.
In fact, I recently noticed that in v5.5 they now use the native theme
color for list selection hilites (thanks Mr. Waddingham!).
