Any idea when Linux will be supported?

I'm using the Auto Tab Discard extension for now, but having a native way to handle this for Linux users would be great.

Ah man. Hope this makes it to Linux and especially OSX soon!
On Linux, I use cgroups to restrict memory usage of certain applications to prevent them from crashing the whole system.
