Hi, does anyone know if there will be linux files for the dedicated servers or if there will be files released on the same day as the alpha release of the game?

The announcement clearly states linux will come later. When later is, we don't know.

They have also mentioned that their core Engine code can be swapped out for an OpenGL implementation fairly modularly, so Mac and Linux ports of the client are also on the horizon.
As for dedicated servers, I don't recall exact promises, but I would assume they would have dedicated servers ready on release.
