That is terrific news.

Was this a decision late in the project? It seems that since Savage had a Linux client too that Savage2 would have just been developed with OpenGL in the first place to avoid going back and replacing the DirectX stuff for a linux/mac release.

Not many games out there these days that are released at day 1 with both native Windows AND Linux support, Though I don't use Linux myself, I dont think that they should be left in the dark when great games come out.
