We are pleased to announce we now support Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) on our Selenium grid.

You can now run your cross browser tests on Linux instances, containing the following browsers:

- **Firefox 11**
- **Firefox 10**
- **Firefox 9**
- **Firefox 8**
- **Firefox 3**
- **Google Chrome**

As with our Windows nodes, we provide screenshots and a video of each test on Ubuntu. We optimised the screenshots and video processing on our Linux nodes, so rest assured this will not slow down your tests.

Linux Selenium Testing will be available starting from today to all our users (paying and trial accounts).

To see a full list of the browsers and OS combinations we support, please see the TestingBot [browsers page](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/browsers).
