I used to build a Linux Box with loads of Libraries built in but that's long ago and I found distributing a game on Linux is somehow hard, maybe in the later days there'll be the "Universal Binary" for Linux?
"Distribution Hell".....sigh... Linux could be better....
This is one of the primary reasons why I've suggested in the past that Blitz should be building to java or .net byte code rather than native code.
Wide area distribution is no longer a burden on the developer if that route is taken.
