The reason Linux isn't supported is because all of the distros use their sound and video drivers differently, so you get different bugs and different levels of compatibility across every distro, and it's generally a nightmare to debug.
HOWEVER, Shedletsky has said they're 90% done with a Linux port (he said it a long time ago), and Linux is on their platform list in their source code. Of course, DOS is also on that list, so I don't expect much. |
