Do you think that Linux will become a viable target platform for
commercial MUDs?  I don't know a whole lot about the Windows API, but
now that Linux is getting better GL support and there are reasonable
quality GUI toolkits then maybe I don't have to?

I found this interesting:

What do you think?

I wonder how the a MUD populated with Unix/Linux users differs from the
same MUD populated with Windows users. Maybe it would be advantageous to
do the alphatesting with a Linux only version?

Ola.
