Actually it IS coded for Linux. Mac's run on an Apple-ified version of Linux. They are just not built for Linux.
Andreas told me earlier this year he could build OOTP on Linux but the thing holding them back from releasing a Linux port is the lack of copy protection on Linux. I spent a good amount of time during this years beta trying to find adequate copy protection for Linux but to no avail. The whole premise of Linux is diametrically opposed to copy protection so you can see why this is a problem.
