The summary basically is that if we have a Linux server there will be a
Linux client.

To make this slightly on-topic again, it's actually much easier to test the
server if you have the client running on the same OS as well as it's not
exactly fun to track down issues that only appear in client/server
scenarios.

In the past we (or to be more precise, Ryan Gordon) usually went down the
road of porting "ucc" (the standalone command line tool) and once that is up
and running you basically have most of the engine running at which point you
can focus on rendering and sound. That usually uncovers the remaining
nastyness if you port to a different endian or 64 bit system.
