Discuss: Can AJAX run fine on linux Platform ?
FireFox can support Ajax, and FireFox can run on Linux, so yes if they use FireFox or any other up-to-date browser. It doesn't matter what platform they're on, just their browser.
but i read that for running ajax the browser need a component xmlHttp that only windows have, so are u sure ? have u tested it ?
Ajax stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XHTML. If your web browser supports Javascript and XHTML, it supports ajax.
Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari, etc, all support ajax, regardless of platform.

Internet Explorer (which is NOT limited to windows - there's a Mac version) has an ActiveX component called xmlhttprequest, but all up-to-date browsers (including FireFox) have their own version of it. The ActiveX version has a few more features, but I've never seen much use for some of its extra features.
Just make sure your script tries to make it as an ActiveX object or a normal object and you'll be fine.

I use linux all the time and I don't have problems with AJAX using and AJAX development. 
be sure, that you will have more problems to make pages working in IE.
Other modern browsers are able to do everything you want.
(Modern browserd are: Firefox, Konqueror, Opera, Safari and maybe others NOT IE, IE is the nightmare of web developers especially me.
I'm using firefox, konqueror, opera, and IE in wine (windows emulator) and all these browsers are able to do almost everything I want.)
