I'm a linux user at home, apart form one machine for games (and shortly music), and I think Java would be a horrible solution. It can be a pain to install, you need to make sure you've got the right version of of the virtual machine, and it's really not meant for the sort of number crunching that must be going on down in the game engine.

There's also the licensing issue. I don't know if eLicence works with Java (though I know there are similar things that do).

I'd love to see a linux native version, but I can't really think of any solution to the licencing problem at the moment.
