They actually confirmed somewhere the "OS of choice" will include a Linux or two? The choice could be between Windows home and pro or whatever they're called now.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and some reflection on Steam Reviews

Yeah, a friend was in the Aug-Sep bracket and he got his e-mail yesterday. He said he ordered his SD in October. Good times!
