There's a good bet it will work with the Linuxulator, I doubt LL would add lots of kernel specific hacks to the game, especially since it's a port. Most Linux games work fine in BSD. I still play my old Loki games, and the Linux versions of Id games tend to work just fine.
I have to say though, if a Linux client comes out, I'm in big trouble. I already tell that I'm going to spend too much time in the game, and if I don't have to reboot that's going to make it all the worse. I'm not too excited about the whole boot CD thing though, if I have to reboot I might as well use the (probably more featureful) windows client.

From: Polka Pinkdot I'm not too excited about the whole boot CD thing though, if I have to reboot I might as well use the (probably more featureful) windows client. But that requires you to install it on the target machine, which may not always be possible (or, if possible, desired by the owner of the machine where you're visiting). |

Sourcemage GNU/Linux. Not bad at all for a source distro.

You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.
