I was just talking with an ex-coworker of mine who now works for Ritual. Ritual is the company who is making Sin. They of course are planning on making a Linux version of Sin just like there is a Linux version of Quake 2. He says that Ritual would like to support as many platforms as possible. No guarantees, of course. Once it's ported to Linux, it'd probably be very trivial to port it to FreeBSD 3.0. We'd just need whoever was working on the GLIDE driver for FreeBSD to resurface again and complete their work. If we could get the minigl ported to FreeBSD it would be a great speed boost too. Any OpenGL hardware acceleration under FreeBSD would indeed help Sin getting a better chance of being ported. Also, he says that they've gotten thousands of requests for a Linux version but very little for FreeBSD. Let your voices be heard!
