It'd be nice to know - else I'll have to convince Mynxee to give Linux a go so she can see the pros and cons of using it herself.
I'd like someone to champion the relativity simple (and not SO labour intensive)request of having the Windows client compiled using Wine (Unix Windows comparability layer) libraries. In order for the client to be made available from the official site.
I know from the tone of the devblogs that CCP does not really want to alienate this rugged, proud and independent community so very similar in character to themselves.

I'd rather have CCP use resources on fixing stuff, than catering for an OS with less than stellar performance in games.

I believe EVE did have a Linux client at one point, but it was abandoned since WINE was easier to set up, and was giving a better experience to boot. I think they've since said that they'd rather work on improving the Windows client's compatibility with WINE, than maintain 3 separate client bases.

+85 FPS @ 1600x1200 8xSAA / all settings maximum / HDR on / 7.1 sound...how low can you go?

Impressive, to quote a certain Sith Lord
Can't match your FPS, or rely fully on the sound, using the 1900x1020 + 1024x1280 VDU set up I've got going-on - but that's pimp enough for me with the settings maxed out. And that's though what is essentially (imho) Windows written better via Linux.
I'm not asking for a dedicated client here folks, CCP can fix all the bugs they want in whatever order best pleases for Windows or whatever.
I'm just asking them to consider a formal - or even informal partnership - with the guys who code WINE (http://www.winehq.org/).

I tried gentoo once, but soon went back to chewing rusty staples and doing jumping jacks on broken glass.
