I agree with the 64 bit version. That'd be awfully nice.

I am awaiting the release of the linux client though. Hooray for remembering about us.

I saw the news story and was going to comment but I don't seem to have that option. I haven't actually tried the game yet but what what graphical toolkit did you use to develop the game? Is it closed source and therefore you need to build any and all binaries? I think to keep the majority of Linux users happy you would need an x86 and an x86_64 binary. Many Linux distribution could then package the binary along with you providing a binary installer. Google Earth comes to mind as one such example distribution method. I am sure you won't have much trouble finding interested developers to help you out if you run into trouble packaging up the binary. There are of course lots of architectures other than the two I mention who would probably all have users wanting binaries too (such as my PS3 running Linux on the Cell)…

Add me to the list of people anxiously awaiting the native linux version.

The Win and Mac versions in the upper right corner are listed as 'beta', and supposedly there's a 'working' linux version. So, even if it's also considered 'beta'… why not just put the link up there with the other versions? Why? WHHHYYYYYYYY??? ;-)

Please, provide the linux client. The windows client under wine is just too slow to be usable.
