Hi guys
I'm Forboding Angel (ben woods). I'd be happy to help as much as I can.
Wrt the existing questions and stuff talked about...
Currently linux is a bit of a grey area. Not by choice though. Currently there is no static build of the engine, which prevents me from having a desura<->linux install. As a result, it comes down to a "if you aren't using buntu, compile and pray". Usually the engine compiling doesn't really cause much trouble for most linux users, but of course every now and then you have the ones that just won't work no matter how many kicks and curses you deliver.
I'm hoping that when v92 of the engine comes out this will be a thing of the past as static builds will be released. This will allow me to give linux users the awesome user experience that windows users currently get. Currently windows users get all the cool toys where linux users have to do damn near everything manually. It's a sucky situation, but one I don't really have much control over.
I tried for nearly a month to come up with a workable static build, using CDE and various other schemes but came up empty handed each time.
There actually is a mac build, but there is only one engine developer dedicated to making mac builds a reality, and so it is temperamental to some extent. Ymmv.

Once I was made aware of the thread over on the spring forums, I noticed Meowsqueak in one of my dedicated hosts (autohost), observing a game (weird one too... both guys sat around for 30 minutes and never attacked each other till the very end). I said hi several times but he never said anything, so dunno what that's all about. Regardless, no worries
If there is anything I can help with, lemmie know! Also, there are tons of resources for the game and to see it and learn about it, etc etc.
