No, we ported it because:
1) The server on Linux is extremely important.
2) Mark Rein wasn't just paying lip service on the INA forums: taking
advantage of people for their servers and not letting them actually PLAY
blows.
3) (My own conjecture) having Linux/Mac/whatever versions makes the
engine more sexy to licensees, so it doesn't hurt to have it.
4) All the other benefits of portable code: shaking out bugs,
assumptions, etc.
