Pretty good bundle (Score:5, Informative)
Worth it for Psychonauts alone, if you don't have it. I'd never heard of any of the other games but I've been told they're all pretty spectacular.

Limbo Linux port (Score:5, Informative)
Unfortunately the Linux 'port' of Limbo is actually just a Wine wrapper. It doesn't even run for me, some say it works worse than running the Windows binary in Wine, or have reported various problems and bad performance.
Pretty lazy when every other game has managed to make a proper native Linux port.

If you're into indie game bundles. There are currently several other active bundles:

Cross platform via wine (Score:5, Informative)
Limbo on Linux is a wine bottle [ziemecki.net] that runs with very poor performance. Trying to improve performance via the latest version of wine exposes a recent bug (shader model 3.0 [winehq.org]). Psychonauts on Linux is a real icculus [wikipedia.org] port, but is just a wine bottle on Mac.
Don't consider wine compatibility as the type of support for Mac/Linux that I expected from the Humble Indie Bundle.
