When asking about the Linux beta a developer said this:
QuoteNo exact ETA right now. The OSX beta is coming first but we're making progress on the Linux one, it'll follow after.

The OSX beta is now out paving the way for Linux to come soon!

Wastland 2 was kickstarted in April of 2012 hitting way over its goal, so it is great to see it progress. It is nice that they aren't silent on the Linux version like a lot of other developers seem to be.

About
Welcome back to the Citadel, Rangers! Join the over 70,000 Kickstarter backers and interact with the development team to help shape the ending of an already historic post-apocalyptic story. The Wasteland's hellish landscape has been waiting for you to make your mark… or die trying.

Wasteland 2 is the direct sequel to 1988’s Wasteland, the first-ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG and the inspiration behind the Fallout series. Until Wasteland, no other CRPG had ever allowed players to control and command individual party members for tactical purposes or given them the chance to make moral choices that would directly affect the world around them. Wasteland was a pioneer in multi-path problem solving, dripping in choice and consequence and eschewing the typical one-key-per-lock puzzle solving methods of its peers, in favor of putting the power into players’ hands to advance based on their own particular play style.

The Wasteland series impressive and innovative lineage has been preserved at its very core, but modernized for the fans of today with Wasteland 2. Immerse yourself in turn-based tactical combat that will test the very limits of your strategy skills as you fight to survive a desolate world where brute strength alone isn’t enough to save you. Deck out your Ranger squad with the most devastating weaponry this side of the fallout zone and get ready for maximum destruction with the RPG-style character advancement and customization that made the first Wasteland so brutal. Save an ally from certain death or let them perish – the choice is yours, but so are the consequences.

The beta is almost over and there is still no Linux version. :><:

On the bright side, the game seems to be shaping up quite well and can, on the whole, be considered a Kickstarter success story.

I think there's still a few months before beta is over. Not that I will be playing the beta anyway. I backed the game a while back but I want to jump straight in to the finished product when it's released

This definitely looks interesting. Will buy it at some point. I don't think I ever played a CRPG.

The beta is nowhere near over. My guess is official release is about 4-6 months out
