Thats great news, Jens!  Maybe you can get John Carmack to help test it

"Unrelated linux note: yes, there will almost certainly be a linux binary 
for the game.  It will probably only work on the nvidia drivers initially, 
but I will assist any project attempting to get the necessary driver 
support on other cards."
