The graphics are great! But it mentions Direct sound package from Microsoft, and what I have now is really choppy during playback. I've got an Athlon64 3200+ with 2 gigs of ram, so I know I'm not undersized here. nVidia graphic card as well... I've looked for a website devoted to the linux version of glest, can't find one yet, got any ideas?

The game has been updated, so the one installed from Extras will not work, the site refuses login. I'm having to dnload the tar file.

I've installed it and it runs, but it seems to has some issues concerning openGL and openAL that I lack the wherewithfor to deal with. Just wondering if anyone has considered a Fedora project to champion this OpenSource project, "SecondLife" uses a lot of it's code, from what I've read, and visa-versa.

FreshRPMS has a package for ioquake3 at http://zod.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=391, and I haven't looked closely at it yet, but there's a package for ioquake3 at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lnussel/quake3/src/ that might also be useful. There's a Mandriva package for OpenArena (search for it on rpmfind.net), but that's all I've been able to find so far. Steve -- Steven Pritchard - K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc.
