Loved the demo and just purchased the game. But I am interested in the Linux version, how long till it will be a public release?

I will want to play it in bed on my ageing Acer Aspire 5100 running openSuSe. I just wished there was more linux support with game vendors. So more power to 2dboy for working on a *nix version!

My dorm mate says it runs perfectly under wine. For a native linux version, you'll have to wait a bit. Currently the mac version is being beta-tested.

Nice to know it runs under wine, but native support is the way forward.

Waiting isnt a big problem I have a gaming rig running windows, and my kids have been playing World of goo on it today. Just would be nice to chill in bed after a long day and play a canny puzzler! Which is actually the fact that sold the game to me. Nice to support native linux games. Eventually I might be able to switch from the monopoly.

Eclectic, i've also played the demo in wine with no problems. :)

Excellent! Now getting the set up for this box. So will give it a shot with Wine.
