ET:QuakeWars - Linux Client is now available

In case you missed the official announcement, ETQW Linux Client is now available to download. You do need the full retail DVD to complete the installation though. The client itself is really small at 18MB, so need to work out if they actually preloaded some OS compatilibty stuff on the DVD pre-release.

Another issue, it only runs in 32bit mode, so if you have a x86_64 install - you will need the compat libs along with their deps. My main gaming machine is i686, but my primary laptop is x86_64 ( the Acer Ferrari 4005 ) and I will at some point install the game there as well. So a list of rpms required on centos-5 to make it work will get posted here soon'ish :)

Based in the UK and looking for the retail DVD for ETQW ? Amazon.co.uk have a decent deal going.

Anyway, my download is done, need to install and trial the game now. But first, rugby. Gota get my beer, and gota get in front of a big TV!

So how are you liking Ubuntu 7.10?

It's been almost a week since Ubuntu 7.10 was unleashed on the world, and to be honest, we're totally loving the Gutsy Gibbon over here at Engadget HQ. It's the Ubuntu we've been waiting for, nearly every element of the OS has been improved. Installation was a breeze, and pretty much everything is slicker, more stable, and easier to use than before. There's really no reason not to load it up on an old PC and try it out, just make sure you enable Advanced Desktop Effects and install a new theme (there are tons of them out there).

We're curious to hear how everyone else is liking it. Let us know in the comments if you've tried it out yet, and if you have, how it's been going.
