Finally I've got the much-procrastinated task of setting up a Linux test environment. Ubuntu 11 on VirtualBox does the trick, with Puppy Linux on the wife's old HP G7000 Laptop as a backup.
Right off the bat, two showstopping bug were easy to fix. Graphics and audio related oddities in the Java API, this despite the entire app being in 100% pure java and using no third party libraries other than what comes with the JDK (I am in the process of integrating JOrbis for music, but that's another blog post).
Inset a moderate rant about leaky abstractions here.
Clearly nobody has been playing on Linux, because these were non-starters. My apologies if you tried. v0.906, due out at the end of the month, will include these fixes.
