Title: UT2004 on Linux
Post by: TeaLeaf on July 14, 2004, 06:27:52 PM
It is a very basic article, but it reinforces the fact that Linux is slowly, very slowly, creeping into the gaming market.  I look forward to the day when I can choose which OS to run my games under.  Read about it here (http://www.amdzone.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=39&page=1).

There is a group of CoFRs that are linux mad and have been keenly posting success with major titles such as UT, CS and the like.  It's great to see these things progressing in that direction.  

I've had limited success in my n00b tries, but the functionality is slowly appearing to allow running Win apps on linux (WINE being one of the foremost) w/o needing a Windows license.

Tis a great thing :)
