my BE is running Ubuntu x64 12.04.1 LTS, and aside from needing 'unrar' to
extract, it compiled without issue :)
also TBS were a bit slow releasing for the first release of 3.x kernel (a
month or two), but i think when kernel 3.2 came out on ubuntu update, it
was next day driver release for TBS. they did do alot of work on the
drivers for 3.x kernel support, so they obviously made it easy for
themselves to update :)
