Hi James, As I have been a full time Linux user for quite some time I not only think it is a good idea I know it to be. Far too many developers write games exclusively for Windows, and either we use Wine, install a Windows virtual machine, or do without which are all pretty unacceptable answers to the problem. Its for that reason once I have the time I want to begin porting many games to a language and API compatible with Linux and possibly even Mac OS X in order to give us non-Windows users something to play besides muds and online games like Sryth.
