There already is a linux version. If you know anything about the OS you using you should know that you can go get the old cvs, use the updater and then get the rest of the important files from the windows version. I don\'t know anything about how to do it, but you are a linux user, and if you going to use the OS you might as well know how to use it correctly.
But indeed this game would be more popular if there was a linux version out. The real question is \"Do we want PS to be more popular?\" The steady stream of newbies and annoying questions and rude comments (I\'m looking at you seytra) has gotten everyone a little tired. Just wait for further information, you can\'t expect this game to be a gem after the 4th day of release.
Maybe you should learn something about linux before questioning my competence. I\'ll refer you to my post here:

There *is not* currently a binary linux client as there is for windows. The developers say they are working on such client now. But I\'m a bit peeved that the windows client was released first, esp. when much of the development was done in linux, and this is an open-source project.
Compiling from source can be very very complicated, and it varies alot by the type of system you have. In my case, I compiled and am getting inexplicable freeze-ups and error messages. No one has so far been able to help me with this.
