Heh heh -- there's one way... http://www.wazhack.com/
Developer is committed to Unity4's linux support (when unity4's release occurs)

(Been playing it recently on my android tablet a lot, so in a way, there's already linux support, just not X support.)

That's not a Nethack variant. That's a new roguelike. (Which, for good measure, runs on a rather more restricted set of platforms than Nethack.)

If you want to understand what I'm talking about, read the Nethack source code. Bringing a bottle of brain bleach might be advisable.

There's nothing wrong with the nethack source code! (As long as you consider that e.g. modifying string constants is "not wrong"...)

The nethack source is very like nethack itself: an intricate and wonderful maze filled with treasure and surprises and hidden secrets and traps and terrifying monsters of every kind. I actually prefer reading the nethack source to playing nethack. (But perhaps I am strange.)
