Because we don't have the time or manpower to provide a Linux port at 
this time. It is impossible to write something like RMV without using 
C++/assembler and patching the Ruby binary at runtime to get access to 
the object creation and destruction methods. You cannot do this with 
Ruby/Python/Perl/Java/etc. Even if you could they would be too slow for 
this type of thing.
