You would be my (and many others') hero if you port Async Pro to Linux and provide the result publicly. This has been requests already multiple times.

IMHO this is one of the greatest shortcomings with Lazarus/fpc (even though of course there are alternatives).

Let me know if I can be helpful on that behalf.
