As for Linux: the game has Steamplay, Steam pushes for Linux, so hey, who knows what might be coming up. There has to be a good reason they don't have pitboss working, and that reason has to be Linux
I'd say lack of committed resources, most likely seriously hindered by a flawed design from our beloved friend Trip.

Anyway, EU IV is rumoured to become available for Linux. Have to wait til EoY earliest however.
