Mike Chambers just posted that the Beta version of AIR for Linux is out on Adobe Labs. The previous version was an Alpha version and this Beta is close to feature complete.
Virtually all the features are in this version, with the exception of a couple things. Accoding to the FAQ, "There is a compatibility issue with the Seamless Install feature that that will be resolved with the Flash Player 10 release. Also, the content protection capability for video is not fully implemented. This affects the Adobe Media Player, and may affect other applications". In other words - you won't be able to play DRM protected content in the Adobe Media Player.
