Alpha Centauri Port for Linux?

Freud writes sent us an excerpt from a chat with Brian Reynolds, of firaxis where he was questioned about a Linux port. Brian says "Certainly a Mac version; I'm assuming a Linux version too though that hasn't been finalized. Which is kind of our fault because we expressed some interest (to EA) in doing it ourselves. Worked on it for a while, then got swamped with other stuff. So we handed it back to EA, meaning some time was lost while we were fooling around with it... Anyway, my guess is they will probably do one now. Seems like it would be an easy port. Mostly it was the network code that was going to require some work... " Well, an addict can dream, can't he?
