Not officially, but one of the other coders and I are planning on at least
porting the multiplayer server to Linux, just so that people can keep some
Internet games running for more than a day or so ;)

However, Terminus uses some craftily abstracted I/O routines for
mouse/keyboard/joystick as well as 3D rendering, so if someone wants to
make an SDL-compatible set of "Terminus drivers" I'm sure I could persuade
management to allow that...  (I'd just have to make sure the non-platform
code builds under Linux, too.)  Right now, since it's a 'blows95 game, we
only have input routines for DirectInput, but we have output drivers for
the windows versions of Glide, OpenGL, D3D, and DirectDraw.  (I think a
port to Linux Glide should be quite nice, tho...)

If only I could ever get the tentacles of <windows.h> out of most of the
modules... heheh...
