When is the Linux version scheduled to appear?
==John ffitch

Good question. I'm not sure about the best way to distribute it on
linux. Currently the build system is completely self-contained. There
is little need for any external dependencies. I just need to update
the makefiles. Is it Ok to expect people to be able to build it
themselves? I can of course prepare binaries for Ubuntu as it's the
flavour of linux I use.

In this instance I would say, yes, you should expect Linux users to 
build it. At some point someone may decide to manage a package and save 
you the hassle. Meanwhile, if your system is self-contained then there 
should be little or no difficulty compiling it locally.

Those are also known as "famous last words".  :)
