How can I convert images on a UNIX or LINUX machine?

The Zoomify Converter is currently available for Windows and  
Macintosh platforms, however, scripted alternatives are available for  
UNIX/LINUX environments. Access information is provided below. These  
alternatives have been developed by Zoomify customers and partners  
and, as script-based implementations, are editable and portable to  
other scripting languages. They are, however, slower than the  
compiled offerings for Windows and Macintosh. Zoomify is pursuing the  
creation of a UNIX/LINUX converter through partners and we hope to  
have more to announce soon. Please watch our home page for  
information on this topic.

For a Python/PIL/Zope-based conversion solution please see  
SourceForge.net and search on 'ZoomifyImage'. For a PERL-based  
conversion alternative you may download the PERL-Slice.zip file from  
the Zoomify download server. (Note: the PERL-based solution does not  
support incremental source image data loading so it is only  
appropriate for images tens or hundreds of megabytes in size rather  
than gigabytes in size).

so it looks, it should be solved

If anybody may test the zoomify on Linux - both conversion and Flash  
extension, please do it and send a note.
