 Replying to [comment:2 phobos]:
 > it would be better if we had obfsproxy bridge bundles for all OSes we
 support.

 I briefly talked to Sebastian about this:

  - He could turn the Vidalia bundle for OSX into an obfsproxy bridge
 bundle.  The Vidalia bundle could need some more work, like excluding
 Polipo, but that wouldn't stop Sebastian from making an obfsproxy bridge
 bundle for Linux.  This would very likely happen after July 1, though.

  - For Linux, we don't even have a Vidalia bundle.  Sebastian says that
 such a bundle would be hard, because we'd get into even more conflicts
 with package managers.  It may even be a bad idea to have a Vidalia bundle
 for Linux.  However, without a Vidalia bundle, Sebastian cannot make an
 obfsproxy bridge bundle for Linux.

 Erinn, can you comment on the Vidalia bundle for Linux thing?
