I work in tech. support in the video game industry, and I can tell you that, to include the Linux binaries on the CD would imply support, and a lot of technical support departments in this industry don't have experience in Linux. Yeah, I think it's a bad thing... but it is (currently) the way things are. Plus, as most game companies do, they probably had to make room for Copy Protection on the CD. Again, the way things are.
Likely, it was a decision not made to imply that Linux users do not matter, simply that they aren't the majority. SBT
Me, I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of Q3a for Linux, and yes, I'm buying both win32 and Linux flavors... vote with your dollar people, aww yeah.

on the front page, mentions "O'Reilly have released their new book Using Samba under an open content license! The book has been adopted by the Samba Team as the "official" Samba book and we will strive to keep it up to date. O'Reilly have sent us the full sources for the book and we will be making it available online as soon as we can, we just need to work out some formatting and conversion issues. We also plan to make it directly accessible from SWAT. "
