I would say sort of.
its nice that they gave us a spot in their forums.
Its NOT nice that the digg labs stack and swarm wont run. (my guess is that they require flash 8 or 9 and the linux version is stuck at 7 until the 9 beta is released)
any thoughts?

universal support has never been a strong suit of linux
I'm typing this in Firefox on knoppix installed on my hdd. The Rev3 homepage looks like hell, there are lines running around everywhere

Running Ubuntu and Rev3 looks fine. As for Digg Stack, and Swarm, I don't use those anyway.

Rev3 and Digg are two seperate websites. You can't say because a feature on the Digg page isn't Linux compatible that Rev3 three isn't.

Everything displays perfectly for me..
Firefox under Kubuntu.
As for the digglabs things they work when running flash9/firefox(windows) under wine. That problem however is flash related Digg can't do much about it. Blame adobe :)

Also they actually put out their vidcasts(revision3) as ogg theora which noone does. I'd say that's more linux friendly than most.
