It's nice having another classic DnD style RPG besides Neverwinter Nights on Linux.

Also just found out that Linux game publishing (LGP) released Sacred Gold RPG in USC and probably to desura too:

i have a sneaking suspicion most of you never heard of gemRB project - it allows you to play classic baldur's gate games on wide range of systems.

W00t, with the module editor etc.? Community made adventures?
Imoen was cool though

Excellent

Hope this really happens.

I had already prepurchased earlier the game as I was thinking of running it via wine or some other method but a native Linux version makes me much happier.

Perhaps on Linux Steam as well.
