There is currently no Linux client sorry to say although that will probably change within a few weeks of launch. A linux client is on the development plan as is a Mac version but we will be getting the Windows client up to speed first.
We have avoided using the server logs to generate the stats. Ordinarily they just don't contain enough detail and there can be a lot of variation bewteen server types. We wanted Avanti to be able to track every single visitor without exception and show not only every page he visits but how long he viewed it and where he left the site. When we wrote the spec it was our intention to use the server logs but we quickly realized that we couldn't extract what we needed and do it reliably so we had to create our own way of doing it that would be guaranteed to work on all servers.
As part of that, it is necessary to install two lines of tracking code to your HTML or PHP pages. Again we wanted initially to avoid that but there's just no way around it if you want reliable stats.
When it's taken on balance though, we feel that the effort of installing tracking code to your pages will be worth it when you see the stats that can be generated. There are some screen shots on our site that will give you a general idea.
