There have been people posting to the Turnpike support newsgroup about 
wanting to switch to Linux, but being unable to find a replacement for 
Turnpike. Quite a few of them are reasonably experienced Linux users. 
I've been using Linux for ten years now and I've been actively looking 
for a Turnpike replacement for five years. I switched to Thunderbird for 
a year or two but I've now switched back.
