For all of you Apple and Linux loving folks (myself included), you now have EVE Online as a native client.

As announced at the 2007 EVE Online Fanfest, EVE Online has now been released as both a Mac and a Linux client, and already news reports are cropping up. Check out the coverage on Macworld, TUAW, MacApper and Inside Mac Games, along with our own blog and discussion thread on this groundbreaking new release. Of course, if you want to jump right in, just head to our download page and get the client of your choice.

The idea of playing an MMO like EVE on my Linux-distro-of-choice certainly brings a smile to my face. I imagine there's plenty of other Linux and Mac fans out there who would agree.
