Probably hanging out with Mac client... Starcraft II is announced for Mac, X3 is out for Mac and no sign of EVE client...
X3 will also be available for linux.
Now we just need mac/linux client so I can ditch Cedega and I'll be happy man.
Chances are that the linux client is going to BE THE CEDEGA ENGINE....so um, well.......be happy anyway. heh heh

Well the Ventrilo linux client is in development so there's hope 
Uh.......all I can say to this is....if you hold your breath, you are probably gonna' turn blue, fall down, and then die. They've had a "linux client being developed" statement on vent's site for over two years.......and still the wind blows, the dust gathers, and the linux section of their forums remain empty.

My alliance uses ventrilo. My solution to avoid tons of hoops:
Run vent on a laptop sitting beside the main box. No focus issues and it does work fairly well. Much MUCH better on wine .9.40 than previous versions.
There are hacks for the focus issue if you are stuck with just a single machine, but I've heard nothing very good about stability running vent AND EVE at the same time on the same box.

I think its actually a moot point (native vs. "wine'd"). If the performance differences are neglible, and the application RUNS on the Operating System you choose rather than have chosen for you... Then its all good.
Even better from my perspective is seeing a MASSIVE uptick in interest in these non "ms" platforms. In my corp there are 4 linux users. Looking at the posts in these threads in the tech forum, as well as the general "flame wars", I'd say, as a percentage, we are getting noticed, and thats a great thing.
It would be my hope regardless of the "native" status of EVE, that CCP realizes the potential market, and with the WOD IP, they rethink their "directx only" path and use a true cross platform philosophy when designing future products.
