OSP actually had a linux guy, but without help from ID, they can't get around the issue (they also asked me for help, but i wasn't in any position to know any better than they did) and yeah, the lack of separation between client and serverside stuff makes development of server-side mods a bit more complex (although there are flags that you can set to get around those in doom3, by the looks of it) ashridah the SDK for doom3 appears to be broken out of the box, when dealing with linux<->win32 communication.

With Q2 only the server side was modifiable, so the linux client could play without any platform specific binaries. Such binaries were only necessary for hosting. With D3 the client needs a new binary.
